Eurizon SLJ Capital

Experience in macroeconomic analysis and rigorous quantitative approach
Originally founded in 2011 by Stephen Jen and Fatih Yilmaz as SLJ Macro Partners, Eurizon SLJ Capital was formed in 2016 when the firm joined forces with Eurizon Capital SGR (which holds 85% of the equity stake). In November 2025, Eurizon SLJ Capital acquired Fideuram Asset Management UK's investment mandates and talent, expanding the firm's investment capability and capacity. Stephen Jen (CEO & Co-CIO) and Fatih Yilmaz (Co-CIO) retain a 15% equity stake in the business and remain actively involved in its day-to-day operations and strategy.

Eurizon SLJ Capital is organised across specialist investment teams, supported by a shared research culture and institutional infrastructure. The company capabilities span emerging markets fixed income, China and Asia fixed income, and equities across EM, Asia and China, alongside multi-asset solutions (direct), global macro, multi-manager fund-of-funds portfolios, and research and FX advisory.

More specifically, the company’s activities can be grouped into the following areas:
  • Emerging Markets, China and Asian Bond Specialists

    Eurizon SLJ Capital's fixed-income investment professionals apply macro-led analysis and quantitative research across emerging markets, China, and broader Asia. The team links outcomes to global policy, liquidity, and risk cycles and expresses its views through rates, credit, and currency as conditions evolve. Portfolio construction is disciplined through explicit risk budgets, liquidity awareness and position sizing.

    Across China and Asia, the team combines policy-aware macro framing with attention to liquidity, market structure, and security-selection discipline across instruments and venues. The capability spans onshore China rates and credit, as well as offshore opportunity sets, with broader Asia fixed income allowing selective expression across regional rates and credit.

  • Emerging Markets, China and Asian Equity Specialists

    The equity expertise of Eurizon SLJ Capital professionals enables investment across three defined opportunity sets: Global Emerging Markets, Asia ex-Japan and China (A-shares). Macro and policy contexts inform opportunity sets and risk framing, alongside bottom-up selection guided by thesis clarity and valuation discipline. Portfolio construction emphasises liquidity awareness and drawdown sensitivity.
    Strategies span high-conviction, concentrated portfolios through to benchmark-aware core approaches.

  • Portfolio Solutions and multi-manager specialists

    Eurizon SLJ Capital’s portfolio solutions provides direct or multi-manager implementation, built as a governed range and mapped to defined risk profiles, with a clear line of sight into the drivers of portfolio risk and return. Portfolios are built as ranges, diversified by design, with building blocks selected for distinct roles rather than duplication. Monitoring and rebalancing follow a defined discipline, with an oversight cadence designed to support consultant review and committees.

  • FX Advisory specialists
    Eurizon SLJ Capital's FX Advisory specialists support clients with currency risk frameworks, hedging considerations, and implementation decisions. The team's advice is informed by the firm's macro and quantitative research, with recommendations framed within a disciplined, risk-managed approach.
  • Macroeconomic Research team
    Eurizon SLJ Capital's Macroeconomic Research team produces research grounded in original analysis and quantitative modelling based on macroeconomic analysis and proprietary quantitative models, designed to support professional investors’ decision‑making across currencies, rates and key global macro themes.
  • Global macro specialists
    Eurizon SLJ Capital's global macro specialists invest across liquid markets using a macro-regime framework that focuses on policy, liquidity and capital flows to identify regime shifts and relative opportunities. Positions are implemented through liquid instruments with explicit sizing and risk budgets.

The management teams report to the two co-CIOs, Fatih Yilmaz e Roberto Demartini.
