Loic Bécue, former head of Global Balanced Portfolios and head of Diversified Portfolio Management, retail networks at Amundi, has joined Eric Bendahan’s boutique Eleva Capital.
The information was first reported by French financial news website NewsManagers.
It is understood Bécue has joined the boutique as head of Diversified Management at the start of September and is based in the company’s recently opened Paris office.
Bécue left Amundi, where he spent over 12 years, at the end of 2016. He was, among others, the portfolio manager of the firm’s flagship balanced fund Amundi Patrimoine. Prior to that, he served as equity portfolio manager at Crédit Lyonnais AM.
