The asset manager Bantleon is strengthening its convertible bond management team at its Zurich office and has appointed Louis Steinbrunner as Portfolio Manager. He will focus on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of issuers of international convertible bonds. Louis Steinbrunner has five years’ professional experience in asset management. Most recently, he worked as a Convertible Bonds Analyst at Schroders Investment Management in Zurich.
»We are delighted to have acquired Louis Steinbrunner and his extensive expertise in convertible bond analysis for our team,« explains Oliver Gasser, CEO and Head of Convertible Bond Portfolio Management at Bantleon Convertible Experts AG. »The record-high volume of new issues shows that companies are increasingly using convertible bonds as a financing instrument. At the same time, we are seeing growing interest from investors. However, the benefits of this hybrid asset class can only be realised through careful analysis and active management.«
