Today, Amundi's publishes its 1st half and 2nd quarter 2024 financial #results, showing a strong net income growth of +9.4% and high net inflows of +€15bn.   The breath of our offerings has been a significant asset in meeting the diverse needs of our clients. We had a positive momentum in both active management (+€8.0bn), particularly in fixed #income & structured products, and passive management (+€6.0bn). Commercial activity was particularly strong and accelerating in the 9 countries in which we operate in #Asia with +€22bn of inflows in H1.   The higher profitability has been achieved through both: ➡️ Revenue growth (+7.7% in Q2) ➡️ and expenses that are under controlled: our cost-income ratio further improved to to 51.9%, still the best in the sector.   Finally, on July 9, we announced the signing of the definitive agreement concerning our strategic partnership with Victory Capital, an initiative that will create value for our customer and shareholders.   These results reflect the continued commitment of our teams to serve our clients. Many thanks to them!   We remain confident in our strategic direction moving forward.

Thank you Caroline Mignon from Les Echos for this article which summarizes well our convictions at BNP Paribas Asset Management. Indeed, we are in the middle of a paradigm shift of the world economy, after forty years of globalisation and low interest rates. As in any transition, there will be winners and losers, and you will have to have strong convictions to navigate through uncertainties. I therefore believe in the comeback of active management in the current high rates and uncertain environment. Our growth has been fueled by inflows in the following three main asset classes in the last three years: - Money markets as the surge in rates has led many investors to favor these short-term products without risk and we have best in class performance from our investment teams. - Private assets for which we have high ambitions and have been able to grow organically as well as externally over the past two years. - ETFs where we have continued to widen our ESG ETF range, including in Fixed Income and ESG active ETFs.

ESG: The path to profitability and a responsible future! 🌱💼 Integrating ESG criteria into investment selection is a true game-changer, enhancing resilience and driving value in today’s market. The recent 2nd edition of CFA Talks, organized by Club des Femmes Administrateurs CFA Maroc, highlighted the rising importance of non-financial performance for Moroccan companies. The pursuit of a double bottom line—both financial and extra-financial—has become a competitive edge not only for businesses but also for investment funds seeking lasting impact. 🌍💡 ESG integration strengthens a company’s attractiveness and aligns with the growing expectations from stakeholders and investors for sustainable performance. #PrivateEquity #DoubleBottomLine #SustainableInvestment #ImpactInvesting #CFATalks #CFAmaroc #BMCE Capital Investments #CapitalCroissance #ASSIA BENHIDA #Fabienne Serfaty https://lnkd.in/eRT_rKDm

[#Finance] We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our €350 million Bond issue, maturing in April 2029 reopening the unrated market for French issuers and setting a strong foundation for Bel's financial future. 🌟    This milestone was met with an enthusiastic response, as the issue was nearly 6.6 times oversubscribed with an order book exceeding €2.35 billion with a strong demand from French and UK investors. The transaction marks the return of the group in the Eurobond market since our last issuance in 2017. This reflects the strong confidence the market holds in Bel's credit rating and financial resilience.    The use of the proceeds of this issue will serve our growth initiatives and facilitate the partial repayment of existing loans thus extending our financing maturity.      This milestone is a step forward in our commitment to sustainable growth and long-term value creation for all our stakeholders.    For more details 👉️ https://lnkd.in/eUKSibgK    #ForAllForGood #Euronext #Investment #CorporateGrowth

Dividend recapitalisations are back. This is a mixed blessing (euphemism?) for the private equity industry. Virginie Deneuville discussed the topic and kindly interviewed me for her paper in L'AGEFI (French, paywall): https://lnkd.in/eHvaiQcB Since interest rates have started to decrease in Western markets and exits are languishing, it is tempting to re-leverage some of the buyouts still in the funds - and distribute the debt proceeds to fund investors. These dividend recaps are supposed to solve the puzzle of the relative lack of distributions over the last 18-24 months. 2024 could set a new record high. This type of operation has resulted in some emblematic failures. Logically, an uneasiness has started to spread. It would be a shame if some of the current large transactions would meet a bad outcome. #LBO #leveragedbuyout #dividendrecapitalisation #failure #privateequity

This morning, the report on the relaunch of the #CapitalMarketUnion #CMU by Bruno Le Maire French Minister of the Economy, Finance & Industry and Digital Sovereignty, was released. https://lnkd.in/damH7Qmr Europe, faced with significant financing needs, must deepen its capital markets urgently. By 2030, Europe needs substantial investments, with additional financing needs reaching nearly €1 trillion annually (for energy transition, digital transition, education, defense, etc.). A group of experts from both public and private sectors conducted extensive consultations across Europe, concluding that European capital markets remain largely underutilized as a source of financing, especially in equities. They formulated four propositions: 👉 a simple long-term European saving product is needed to redirect households’ savings towards the European economy; 👉 bold and decisive action is necessary to revitalize the securitization market; 👉 better integrated supervision is required to establish a genuine single market and maintain financial stability (reforming ESMA’s governance); 👉 ambitious efforts are needed to reduce post-trade fragmentation at the European level. It is a key milestone for real economy financing and its European sovereignty which are at the core of Scope Group value proposition as the leading pan European financial and non financial rating agency. The experts involved include Christian Noyer Delphine d'Amarzit Nicolas Calcoen Frédéric de Courtois Mohamed Kallala Bertrand de Mazières Robert Ophèle Anne Pointet Supported by our Direction générale du Trésor (French Treasury) #CapitalMarketUnion #thescopeperspective #impact #securitisation Place des Investisseurs
