The Dutch group’s duo of equity income specialist Nicolas Simar and Manu Vandenbulck were the best performing managers across all three of amLeague’s mandates in December.
It is the first time since June last year that the pair has topped the amLeague rankings following a strong performance in the eurozone equity mandate which saw them return 4.49% last month.
This was the best result any of the league’s manager generated over the month of December across the eurozone, European and global equity mandates
In second place in the eurozone mandate were French duo Marc Renaud and Yohan Salleron of Mandarine Gestion who posted returns of 3.76% while third place went to Invesco AM’s Jeremy Taylor and Matthew Perowne.
Only a third of the 18 managers included in the eurozone mandate managed to outperform its benchmark with six of them beating the 2.44% rise of the EuroStoxx Net Return index in December.

Launched in June 2010, the goal of the league was to offer a way for institutional investors to compare fund managers' skill at running identical mandates.
Each manager must run a paper portfolio with an identical set of guidelines: a market exposure of 98-100%, a minimum of 20 stocks, and a maximum exposure to any single sector of 35%.
Two leagues were originally launched at the end of June 2010, the pan-European and eurozone equity mandates, while the global equity mandate was launched at the end of December 2011.
In the European equity mandate, marking an end of year return to form are Spanish boutique Bestinver. The Madrid-based team led by leading manager Francisco García Paramés have been absent from the top rankings for a number of months but took top spot in December after posting returns of 4.19%.
Once again in second place we find the Renaud/Salleron duo of Mandarine who returned 3.67% in December while third place went to the team-managed portfolio of Alliance Bernstein’s Europe Strategic Value team which posted returns of 2.24%.
Of the 21 participants in the European equity mandate, nine managers outperformed the Stoxx 600 Net Return benchmark which rose 1.48% during the month of December.
