Paris-based CCF-SEI Investments, the fund management joint venture between HSBC CCF and SEI Investments, is set to launch a new range of multi-manager funds for the French market.

The funds, called Elysées Multi-Managers, will give all fund management clients of financial services group HSBC CCF access to an investment approach that was traditionally available to the largest institutional investors. HSBC CCF, which was created last year following HSBC's acquisition of Crédit Commercial de France, will now also be able to offer greater investment diversification in terms of asset class, investment style and fund manager.
