To mark the 40 years of fruitful collaboration between Ostrum Asset Management and CNP Assurances, a special seminar brought together key players from both companies on Thursday, November 14, at the Maison de la Recherche.
This was a unique opportunity for the partners to highlight the importance of this relationship, its strength, and its longevity. "These 40 years of collaboration not only demonstrate our mutual commitment but also our ability to innovate together in the face of market challenges," stated Olivier Houix, CEO of Ostrum Asset Management, at the opening of the day, in the presence of Cécile Blondeau Dallet, Director of Investments France at CNP Assurances.
Several plenary sessions led by experts from both companies addressed numerous topics, such as macroeconomic projections, the evolution of financial markets, the advantages of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), and evaluations of companies' climate strategies. These provided opportunities for discussion and sharing that fostered the strengthening of synergies between the teams of Ostrum Asset Management and CNP Assurances.
The second part of the day then took an inspiring turn with the roundtable "Athlete Voices," featuring Amandine Buchard (judo), supported by Ostrum AM, and Dimitri Jozwicki (para-athletics), supported by Natixis IM. During this exchange, key themes in the life of a high-level athlete were explored: the importance of relying on a trusted partner and the management of long-term performance. The messages and shared experiences undoubtedly resonated with the participants and stakeholders of this partnership.
Finally, the presence and speeches of Stéphanie Paix, CEO of the Global Financial Services division at Groupe BPCE, Stéphane Dedeyan, Chairman of the Management Board of La Banque Postale, Deputy Managing Director of the La Poste group, Marie-Aude Thépaut, CEO of CNP Assurances, Philippe Setbon, CEO of Natixis Investment Managers, and Olivier Guigné, Director of Investments and Savings Europe of CNP Assurances, highlighted the history, shared successes, and especially the strategic challenges ahead for Ostrum Asset Management and CNP Assurances, with a common ambition: to innovate, strengthen ESG commitment, and meet the expectations of sustainable performance.
