Luxembourg, LU, 22 October, 2025 — Nordea Asset Management (NAM) is pleased to announce the recruitment of Lucette Yvernault and Marton Huebler, as part of its continued expansion of data-driven investment capabilities into Systematic Fixed Income.

For more than two decades, NAM and the Multi Assets Team have offered data-driven investment strategies across balanced, absolute return, and equity portfolios, with excess returns generated from a variety of quantitative methods – from factor investing to machine learning. In most recent years, it is the BetaPlus Enhanced Equity strategies that have gained significant traction among investors seeking lower active risk solutions, with consistent excess returns. Today, the team manages over EUR 150 billion, with more than EUR 70 billion allocated to BetaPlus Enhanced Equity solutions.

Lucette will join as Head of the Systematic Fixed Income team, while Marton will join as Senior Portfolio Manager. Their addition represents a significant step in strengthening NAM’s capabilities in systematic and risk-controlled active fixed income investments, while still leveraging its existing data-driven research approach in Multi Assets. These new fixed income solutions are seen as key to addressing investors’ growing demand for scalable and cost-efficient solutions that can deliver consistent excess returns.

Lucette joins NAM from Fidelity International, where she led the development of a successful multi-billion EUR franchise as Head of Systematic Fixed Income, focused on actively managed, low-tracking-error fixed income solutions and customised mandates. She brings more than two decades of experience in designing global fixed income portfolios for institutional investors, including LDI-based portfolios, and ESG integration.

Marton, previously a Portfolio Manager at Fidelity International, has extensive expertise in quantitative fixed income investing. He has held several senior roles, including Head of Quantitative Fixed Income Research, and has a strong track record in managing fixed income portfolios and systematic strategies.

Lucette will report to Asbjørn Trolle Hansen, Head of Multi Assets. Both Lucette and Marton will be based in London.

“We are pleased to welcome Lucette Yvernault and Marton Huebler to Nordea Asset Management. They bring outstanding expertise in Systematic Fixed Income that aligns with and extends our existing data-driven capabilities. Their approach to fixed income mirrors the award-winning approach of our Multi Assets Team and will leverage its established research platform to deliver actively managed, risk-controlled fixed income solutions — complementing our successful BetaPlus Enhanced Equity offering.”
