Multi-specialist SRI conviction management
In 2020, La Banque Postale opened a new page in the history of its subsidiary LBP AM. As a pioneer in SRI, LBP AM became multi-specialist conviction manager dedicated entirely to sustainable finance, with assets under management of €52 billion at the end of 2020 (excluding Ostrum delegation) with 100% of eligible funds SRI-certified.
LBP AM offers a wide range of retail savings products and solutions dedicated to institutional investors. To customers who are institutional investors, insurers, mutual insurance companies, large companies and external distributors, it offers open-ended funds, dedicated funds and portfolio management services. To do so, LBP AM has four investment divisions:
- the equity division through its subsidiary Tocqueville Finance;
- the real and private assets division (with a focus on debt);
- the multi-asset and absolute performance division;
- the quantitative solutions division.
Fixed income and insurance management
The merger of fixed income and insurance activities with Ostrum AM on 31 October 2020 marked the creation of a European leader with nearly €450 billion in assets under management on behalf of large institutional customers. A leading player, Ostrum AM, now has two separate and independent offerings: asset management and investment services.
