Thanks to this acquisition, Amundi would become the European leader in ETF, with \u20ac142bn combined AuM, a 14% market share in Europe(3) and a diversified profile in terms of client base and geography.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amundi would benefit from strong levers to accelerate its development on the fast-growing ETF segment, while complementing its offering in active management, in particular in liquid alternative assets and advisory solutions.<\/p>\n

This acquisition is fully in line with the Cr\u00e9dit Agricole group\u2019s strategy, which aims at reinforcing its position in the asset gathering businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The transaction is expected to be completed by February 2022 at the latest, after consultation of the Works Councils, and subject to receiving the required regulatory and anti-trust approvals.<\/p>\n
