In 2019, Amundi partnered with BOC Wealth Management – a Bank of China unit- to launch an asset management joint-venture.
Last month, the French asset manager announced the acquisition of Sabadell Asset Management, the asset management arm of Spanish lender Banco de Sabadell.
Amundi CEO Yves Perrier said: “Since its creation in 2010, and for the tenth year in a row, Amundi saw growth in its net income. Adjusted net income has risen above one billion euros, in line with the targets announced in the 2018-2022 plan.
“These excellent results are driven by high business activity and by greater operational efficiency: The cost-to-income ratio improved further, to 50.9%.”
