Lemanik Asset Management

Lemanik Asset Management S.A. in Luxembourg serves as the principal management company for UCITS and AIFs. The Swiss entity, Lemanik Invest S.A., houses the senior portfolio managers who run the individual sub-funds. Lemanik SIM S.p.A. in Milan handles distribution and client relationships across the Italian institutional market. Branches in Dublin and Hong Kong extend the firm's regulatory and distribution reach.

Investment decisions rest with individual named portfolio managers, not a centralized investment committee. Maurizio Novelli directs the Global Macro strategy he launched in 2007, Marcel Zimmermann has run the Asian Opportunity equity book since 1994, and dedicated managers like Fabrizio Biondo and Andrea Scauri control their own credit and equity mandates. This makes the firm a platform of independent strategies rather than a team with a house view.

Lemanik operates two primary Luxembourg SICAVs — Lemanik SICAV and Archipelagos SICAV — which hold sub-funds covering Asian equities, Global Macro, European high-yield, and long/short credit. It also manages third-party alternative investment funds that invest in illiquid strategies including Real Estate, Private Equity, and Private Debt.

The firm manages both its own umbrella SICAV funds and acts as a management company for third-party AIFs and sub-funds. This allows Lemanik to host mandates from external asset managers in addition to the strategies run by its own senior portfolio managers in Lugano.

Asian exposure runs principally through Marcel Zimmermann's Lemanik SICAV – Asian Opportunity fund, which has been active since 1994 and covers developed and emerging Asian equity markets including Japan. The firm also maintains a physical office in Hong Kong to support its Asian market coverage.

Lemanik provides investor access through a dedicated online portal, Lemanik Connect, alongside direct engagement from the distribution team in Milan and the portfolio managers in Lugano. Because each strategy is managed by a named, accessible portfolio manager, institutional investors can conduct manager-level operational due diligence directly.

Yes. Through its AIFM platform, Lemanik manages third-party AIFs targeting Private Equity and Private Debt in addition to Real Estate. The firm's risk team, for which it actively hires in Milan, monitors liquidity and risk limits across these illiquid strategies.
