Natixis Asset Management

What Natixis Asset Management does

Natixis Investment Managers (operating as Natixis Asset Management) is a Paris-headquartered, privately held multi-affiliate investment management platform and a subsidiary of BPCE Group, one of France's largest banking conglomerates. The core legal entity, Natixis Investment Managers S.A., is a French société anonyme (Paris company register no. 453 952 681), operating alongside Natixis Investment Managers International (a portfolio management company authorised by the AMF under GP 90-009). As of March 2026 the platform reported approximately €1,261.0 billion ($1,452.8 billion) in assets under management across 25+ global offices spanning the Americas (US, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia), Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Australia). The firm operates through 15+ affiliated investment managers — including Loomis Sayles, Harris Associates, Mirova, AEW, Vaughan Nelson, WCM, Ostrum, DNCA, Flexstone Partners, Gateway Investment Advisers, Ossiam, Naxicap, Seventure, Vauban Infrastructure Partners, and VEGA Investment Solutions — each retaining investment autonomy while sharing distribution, regulatory, and operational infrastructure.

The product set spans mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (including the active fixed-income ETFs LSCP and LSTB launched with Loomis Sayles), separately managed accounts, model portfolios, and collective investment trusts, with a solutions layer offering direct indexing, multi-asset portfolios, institutional overlay, and Portfolio Analysis & Consulting. Investment capabilities cover equities (via Harris Associates, Loomis Sayles, WCM, Vaughan Nelson), fixed income (Loomis Sayles, Ostrum, DNCA), private assets (Flexstone, Naxicap, Mirova, Vauban), and sustainable investing (Mirova). Content and research assets include the Tactical Take podcast, Charts and Smarts publication, Echoes interview series, the Center for Investor Insight (founded 2010), and the Natixis Global Retirement Index (launched 2012). Sub-brands include the Solutions Group and Natixis Portfolio Clarity.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring asset-based management fees on AUM, with secondary contribution from consulting/overlay services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is structured as a percentage of AUM by product, strategy, and investor type. Distribution is sales-led across two primary segments: (i) financial professionals — wealth managers and financial advisors — accessed via Natixis Distribution, LLC and model-portfolio platforms, and (ii) institutional investors — pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, charities, foundations, and endowments — accessed via direct sales teams and the global affiliate network. Regulated subsidiaries span the US (SEC-registered Natixis Advisors, SEC#801-48408), UK (FCA 190258), Hong Kong (SFC Type 1, CE no: AZR307), Japan (FSA), Singapore (MAS, 199801044D), Australia (ASIC AFSL 246830), and Korea (general private fund operator since February 2024).
