The collaboration is expected to enhance the quantitative asset manager’s institutional client coverage in these regions, and will see Dufolio and Alforis providing dedicated local institutional and wholesale coverage.
Specifically, the new offering will allow local professional investors to gain access to Quoniam’s systematic, research-driven investment strategies tailored to increasingly complex portfolio environments.

Dufolio’s offering focuses on selective business development for asset managers and institutional investors, supporting investments teams in structuring and developing institutional relationships, while Alforis connects asset management firms to distributors across Europe.
“France represents an important strategic market for us, characterised by a highly sophisticated institutional investor base and strong demand for research‑driven investment approaches,” says Jonathan Clenshaw, chief business development officer at Quoniam Asset Management.
“With Dufolio and Alforis, we have found partners who combine deep local market understanding with a long‑term approach to institutional relationship building.”
Currently, Quoniam manages approximately €25 billion in assets, and the partnership is expected to help the firm in broadening and deepening its market coverage.
Michel Marques, founder of Alforis, said: “Quoniam combines scientific rigour, a disciplined investment process and a clearly structured investment architecture. This provides institutional investors with clarity, robustness and a high level of implementation discipline – qualities that are essential in today’s market environment.”
