PRESENTATION
OF THE DELEGATION OF
FRENCH INNOVATIVE SME’S
www.aaaic.com
Active Asset Allocation research received in 2011 a Finance Innovation certification from
Paris Europlace, and is also supported by the ANRT (French National Agency in Research
and Technology) and the European Community Business and Innovation Centres
(ECBIC).
Active Asset Allocation was created in 2010.
Active Asset Allocation is a recognised player in financial engineering, both in France and
internationally. The company works with institutional investors and asset managers to
provide them with asset allocation solutions.
Active Asset Allocation has developed a unique expertise in the design of customised
dynamic asset allocation solutions. The proposed solutions combine several areas of
academic research with a thorough knowledge of asset management and asset liability
management. By actively managing risk through the implementation of innovative
portfolio insurance techniques, Active Asset Allocation puts into practice a responsible
approach to preserve the financial resources managed over the long term.
The company advises institutional investors and asset managers over time to help them
adjust their asset allocation in order to take into account the realised performance, the
available risk budgets and changing market conditions with the objective to preserve their
capital. It also provides investors with an additional, unexploited source of alpha.
Our current research focuses on dynamic asset allocation techniques in presence of
liabilities with the ambition to have an impact on solutions offered to pension funds. In
the current context, many pension funds see the worsening of their funding ratio. The
implementation of dynamic asset allocation techniques should allow these institutions to
improve their financial situation, but also decrease the necessary contributions to maintain
a good solvency.

Evolution Energie is a member of the Finance Innovation and Systematic clusters. We are
also board member of Durapole, of the Paris Innovation Center and of the ISO 50001
committee.
Evolution Energie was founded in 2010 in response to the new challenges of the energy
markets. Since then, our solutions have been selected by the largest industrial companies
in the world. We handle more than 220 sites in our system, which represents 160 TWh of
energy per year (equivalent to 20 nuclear plants).
Energy markets are evolving extremely fast, creating both uncertainty and new business
opportunities for energy consumers. As an example, the price of oil is very volatile and
depends from many different factors: economic demand, anticipation of resources
depletion, foreign exchange markets, geopolitical issues, OPEC decisions, regulatory
changes … Many profound changes also affect power and gas consumers: liberalization of
the electricity and gas wholesale and retail markets, convergence between electricity and
gas supply, progressively constrictive legal obligations related to emissions, renewable
energy and energy efficiency.
Businesses are variously impacted and need to analyze the impact on their value chain in
order to secure their operational margin. As energy cost rise dramatically in proportion to
total costs in the last ten years, it has become a strategic issue for many enterprises: when
prices are so volatile, what is a good buying price? How can an industrial gain visibility
on a cost that may hinder its solvability at some point in the future? How can such a
complex domain be handled operationally on a day to day basis?
Our mission is therefore to help our customers actively manage their energy resources
with the right tools and methods. The result of this approach is a clear decision
framework, a more effective usage of energy resources and a competitive advantage that
fosters value creation.
EVOLUTION ENERGIE provides energy management software to industrial companies
and utilities. Our mission is to help them reach international energy management
standards such as ISO 50001. We provide innovative cost monitoring and risk
optimization software that simplifies decision making for procurement and finance
departments. All types of energy are supported, including power, natural gas, oil, steam,
industrial gases …
We automate metering data collection on industrial sites and integrate with operational
plannings. Energy managers can monitor the consumption and market prices ; they
follow-up contractual agreements and costs ; they generate budgetary estimates and risk
scenarios. We provide mathematical models that allow predictive analysis of consumption
and prices.
We have a proven track record of successful implementations worldwide, which shows
our customers can gain between 10 and 30% on their energy costs every year. Our
customers can focus on their core business, streamline their activities and optimize their
energy. As an example, they get the opportunity to develop strategic initiatives such as
energy performance services or energy market connectivity.
Energy efficiency projects are strategic in many regions in Russia. Our intent is to help
Russian companies answer those challenges via our technology platform for energy.
Partnerships with Russian companies, for sales or research, are also of major interest to us.
