Instinctif Partners Middle East appointed to advise Fisch Asset Management

Our Middle East team has been appointed by Fisch Asset Management to provide strategic communications support for its business in the GCC. Our brief has been to develop and grow Fisch Asset Management’s relationships with leading regional media, as well as to engage and educate key stakeholders to increase understanding of convertible and corporate bond strategies for long-term capital growth.

Fisch Asset Management is a Zurich-based asset management boutique, founded in 1994 by brothers Kurt and Dr. Pius Fisch. The firm specialises in convertible and corporate bond strategies, with assets under management (AuM) of USD 9.4 billion. Fisch’s investment philosophy is guided by research-driven, conviction-based active management, supported by stable and disciplined investment processes. Fisch’s subsidiary, Independent Credit View (I-CV), provides in-depth credit research expertise.

Dr. Hansjörg Herzog, Head of Marketing & Sales, Fisch Asset Management, commented:

“We’re very pleased to be working with Instinctif Partners in the Middle East. We’ve already been working with Instinctif’s teams in the UK and Switzerland to raise awareness of our convertible and corporate bond strategies, as well as to increase the media’s understanding of the asset classes themselves. We now look forward to working with the Dubai-based team to do the same in the GCC.”

Samantha Bartel Al Khalaf, Managing Partner, Instinctif Partners Middle East, concluded:

“We’re delighted to have been appointed to advise Fisch Asset Management on their GCC communications strategy. Fisch have an unrivalled track record in strategies for convertible bonds, high yield and emerging market corporate bonds, and we’re looking forward to the opportunity to highlight that track record to key regional stakeholders. We have successfully supported a number of other European asset managers in the region, and we hope to enjoy the same success with Fisch.”
