According to the report, Natixis also intends to increase the head count in its London office by at least 25% this year raising the staff strength to 65 or more by the year end.
Chris Jackson head of UK retail and international products Natixis said: "We want to bring the right product from those affiliates at the right pace into the UK marketplace. We definitely plan to increase that range.
"If we can help to create a product that sets a floor on the amount of money that potentially could be lost, that is a great product we could bring into the multi-asset space," Jackson added.
