Our DNA: Independent, Rigorous, Long-Term

ELKANO Asset Management is an independent French asset management boutique founded with a singular purpose: to master international asset allocation for the benefit of its clients. Our name and heritage evoke the spirit of Juan Sebastián Elcano, the navigator who completed the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1522 — a symbol of our global perspective and our determination to chart a clear course through complex markets. We are not a generalist manager; every resource, every analyst, and every process at ELKANO AM is focused exclusively on asset allocation and portfolio construction. Our independence from any banking group or distribution network means our investment decisions are made free from commercial pressure or proprietary product bias. Our team brings together professionals with backgrounds spanning macro research, multi-asset portfolio management, and institutional advisory, allowing us to combine quantitative rigour with genuine market intuition. We manage assets across multiple vehicles, including our flagship Elkano Global Fund, bespoke discretionary mandates, and custom funds for institutional and professional clients. In 2024, we were proud to be selected by Meilleurtaux Placement to manage their new discretionary mandate offer, developed in collaboration with the investment committee led by Marc Fiorentino — a milestone that reflects the recognition of our expertise in the French wealth management landscape. Our values are simple: intellectual honesty, transparent communication, and a relentless focus on long-term performance over short-term noise. We are headquartered at 3 avenue de l'Opéra, Paris, in the heart of France's financial district.
