Press releases

Jean-Louis Scandella joins Ostrum Asset Management – an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers - on April 3rd 2018 as Equity Chief Investment Officer.

Natixis Asset Management, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers, will be renamed Ostrum Asset Management from April 3, 2018¹. Ostrum Asset Management will focus on its core investment capabilities, fixed income, equity and insurance.

Against the backdrop of investors’ current quest for yield and alternative solutions that offer diversification, Natixis announces the closing of European CLO (Collateralized Loan Obligation) Purple Finance CLO 1¹ for a total of €308.4 million².

This first CLO 2.0 managed by Natixis Investment Managers’ affiliate Natixis Asset Management was structured and marketed by Natixis’ Corporate & Investment Banking arm and complies with CRD IV risk-retention rules. The deal met with strong investor demand.

Corporates and households seem to have regained their confidence in the future in 2017 against a flattering macroeconomic backdrop. However, Natixis Asset Management’s experts caution against excessive optimism, as 2018 will not be entirely devoid of events that could throw a spanner in these well-oiled works. Meanwhile, the financial markets will have to deal with a phase of central bank monetary policy normalization. So adaptability and flexibility will be the watchwords in 2018 if investors are to derive the full advantages from investment opportunities.
