Pierre de Saab's Convexa Launches Systematic Alpha Certificate in partnership with Alquant.

Convexa, in partnership with Alquant, announces the launch of the Convexa Systematic Alpha Certificate, an actively managed basket of quantitative investment strategies (QIS).
September 8, 2025

QIS are systematic strategies developed and managed by leading financial institutions. From a universe of more than 1,500 strategies, the certificate selects a curated subset through a rigorous quantitative and qualitative process. The portfolio emphasizes diversification across issuers, asset classes, and investment styles, with the objective of delivering resilient returns across market environments. The certificate is reserved exclusively for professional investors in Switzerland.

Pierre de Saab, CIO of Convexa, commented:


“The QIS universe is expanding rapidly, yet tracking it requires substantial expertise and resources. As investors increasingly seek differentiated sources of alpha, the Convexa Systematic Alpha Certificate provides an efficient and holistic way to access these opportunities.”

Guillaume Bourquenoud, CEO of Alquant, added:


“We are delighted that Convexa has chosen Alquant as a partner. Our technology and execution capabilities are designed to provide robust market access, and we look forward to supporting the success of this initiative.”
