BT Asset Management, the asset manager with the biggest exposure on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE), sets itself apart from the conservative investment strategy of banking managers and is aggressively betting on equities this year. With net assets under management worth above 250m RON (61m euros), BT AM investment manager, part of Banca Transilvania financial group, holds investments on the BSE worth 95.5m RON (23m euros) through the four equity funds it manages, according to the data reported by the Association of Fund Managers in late February. BT AM is the biggest investor on the BSE among fund managers, way ahead of second ranking Raiffeisen Asset Management with equity investments worth almost 42m RON (10m euros). BT AM also includes the biggest equity fund domestically in its portfolio: BT Maxim with net assets worth 72m RON (17.5m euros) from 2,260 investors at present. "Our strategy is to aggressively position ourselves on equities in 2010. Our outlook over stock market trends in 2010 is positive, being supported, on the one hand by an economic rebound in the first or second quarter, as well as by the falling banking interest rates," says Radu Hanga, general manager of BT AM.
