La Financière de l’Échiquier announces the launch of Echiquier India in Luxembourg

Convinced of Asia’s growth potential, La Financière de l’Échiquier (LFDE) announces the launch in Luxembourg of Echiquier India,[1] a strategy dedicated to Indian equities.

Asia is gradually establishing itself as one of the major drivers of global growth, with its contribution to world GDP, which already stands at 30%, expected to exceed 50%[2] by 2030. In keeping with this trend, India is implementing major structural reforms and is enjoying robust growth estimated at 6.4% in 2025.[3]

Building on this economic climate, Echiquier India invests in high-quality Indian companies of all market capitalisations, with no style constraints. This concentrated portfolio, comprising 30 to 40 stocks, favours companies selected for the quality of their earnings, the soundness of their strategy and the visibility of their markets. Managed by an experienced team, Kévin Net, Head of Asia, Sébastien Djaoui, Fund Manager, and Inès Bensaid, Analyst, Echiquier India strengthens LFDE’s expertise, which aims to capture the growth opportunities offered by the boom in Asian markets.[4]

Olivier de Berranger, Chief Executive Officer of La Financière de l’Échiquier (LFDE), said: “Asia is now the most dynamic region in the world. The expansion of our expertise will enable us to capture new opportunities in an exciting area for stock picking, with compelling potential. With Echiquier India, LFDE now offers its Luxembourg clients and partners expertise that remains scarce in the market.”

Kévin Net, Head of the Asia Division and Fund Manager at La Financière de l’Échiquier, added: “Asia benefits from powerful growth drivers. Buoyed by this momentum, India, one of the world leaders in technological innovation, stands out for the size of its consumer market, the scale of the reforms implemented and the potential of its companies. Echiquier India aims to capture these unprecedented opportunities as they arise.”

Stéphane Van Tilborg, Country Manager, Benelux, at La Financière de l’Échiquier, said: “We are very pleased to announce the launch of Echiquier India in Luxembourg. This strategy will be an asset in seizing opportunities in this rapidly expanding market.”
