Jean-Francois was hired by Unicredit to define the fund selection process and build a team of fund selectors from scratch. He did a fantastic job as the fund selection process he defined is still in place and it allowed Unicredit to win the price as best Italian fund selector in 2018. Jean Francois established a very structured selection process that has proven to be very sound and robust in all different markets phases and, thanks to his work and ability to select the right people, Unicredit Fund Selection team is well respected by asset managers and clients.Last but not least, Jean Francois has a very nice personality, a very interesting person to work with thanks to his wide knowledge of the industry.
