Echiquier Space

Your investments need space

La Financière de l'Echiquier is the first European asset manager to launch a space-specific strategy.

Why invest in Space now?

The planets are aligned

Private companies have joined the race.

Space is no longer just for governments to explore; it’s now open to private businesses, whether pure players or otherwise.

Technological innovation

A critical moment due to the use of AI, reusable rockets, access to near-earth orbit, and other advances.

Taking ESG issues into account

Space 2.0 incorporates ESG issues, with a debris management policy, resource optimisation, and more.

Numerous opportunities

According to Morgan Stanley, the space industry could generate revenues of more than $1 trillion in 2040, up from the current $350 billion.

A sustainable space industry

Data captured by satellites is useful to large swaths of the economy.

Dealing with climate change

The increased use of satellite imaging, cloud computing, and AI provides a clearer understanding and better models of climate change.

Bridging the digital divide

Expanding the satellite network includes worldwide telephone coverage. This is an issue for the most remote regions, where nearly 3 billion people live.

Accelerating innovations

The unique properties of space can speed up certain areas of research that generate technological and scientific innovations.

You too can be pioneers in this new frontier!

Hey, Houston, I've got the world in my window... Our planet, this little pea about the size of your thumbnail at arm's length... Such a beautiful gorgeous tiny thing, nestled into this black velvet of the rest of the Universe.

Michael Collins - American astronaut, the third on Apollo 11

Invest in the space economy with Echiquier Space

To invest in this new economy, we have set up a rigorous investment process to pick out the companies we feel are in the strongest position to benefit from it.

Identifying companies

We started by identifying space-related companies.

We then selected only the ones that comply with our ESG charter, excluding others such as arms manufacturers or companies that don’t have a debris management policy.

Qualitative analysis

We conduct a financial analysis of the company, examining its business model, its ability to innovate, its competitive advantages, etc.

We meet with its leaders to better understand its vision.

And we conduct an extra-financial analysis, looking at governance in particular.

Portfolio construction

We value companies with a 3-year price target and determine what weight each one should have in the portfolio based on this potential gain.

We constantly monitor the risk-adjusted upside potential of the companies in the portfolio.
