Natixis Asset Management develops new strategic ambitions around six areas of expertise
To meet the increasing needs of its clients in terms of tailor-made investment solutions and innovation, Natixis Asset Management is focusing its strategy on six areas of expertise.
Natixis AM will focus on existing, strong and performing, capabilities with a view to global expansion. It will capitalise on its core areas of expertise – European Fixed Income, European Equities, Investments and Client Solutions - and will develop complementary high-potential expertise, such as Sustainable Investment, Structured Products and Volatility Management, and Global Emerging.
These area of expertises will be organised into six business units:
- Investments and Client Solutions will offer investment solutions for institutions, large companies, banker-insurers and networks of Groupe BPCE (Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne) by combining investment management, financial engineering and client relationship management in a single team.;
- European Fixed Income and European equities will deliver enhanced investment capabilities to the clients of Groupe BPCE networks and to institutions;
- Sustainable Investment will broaden its existing product offering building on Natixis AM's leading position in Europe for ESG, thematic and social investment.
- Structured products and Volatility Management will develop innovative offerings in the areas of asymmetric management, flexible management, and smart index;
- Global emerging will bring together Natixis AM’s expertise in emerging countries in fixed income and equity to provide better understanding of these fast-growing markets.
Each business unit is given autonomy and will be responsible for their investment process. They will rely on Natixis Global AM global distribution capacities and on shared support teams (risk management, legal, middle office, IT, etc.). Set up in the next few months, they will bring no change in Natixis AM’s governance.
Through this new organisation, Natixis AM reinforces the multi-boutique model of Natixis Global AM, which offer investors expertise across a wide range of asset classes and investment styles in Europe, the United States and Asia.
According to Pascal Voisin, CEO of Natixis AM : “By concentrating on development, innovation and expertise, around one approach centered on the search for tailor-made investment solutions, Natixis AM meets the needs and current concerns of its clients.”
