Natixis Global Asset Management recently announced the completion of the acquisition of DNCA Finance (DNCA), expanding its list of global affiliates and strengthening its position in European retail markets
As an affiliate of Natixis Global Asset Management, DNCA, a well renowned European investment management company, will have access to Natixis Global Asset Management’s centralized global distribution capabilities. DNCA will immediately broaden its European footprint, entering new markets including Spain and expanding its business in Germany and Switzerland. DNCA will maintain its independence while over time expanding its global presence as an affiliate of Natixis Global Asset Management.
DNCA has seen important growth in the last 2 years, tripling its assets from €5 billion to €16.5 billion today. Through the acquisition, DNCA will maintain its independent management approach and will offer institutional and retail investors expertise in European equities, long only and absolute return, multi-asset, convertible bonds and euro-zone bonds.
“The combination of DNCA’s proven track record, solid investment performance, controlled risk profile and strong brand name will make a substantial contribution to the further expansion of Natixis Global Asset Management’s multi-affiliate model and our strategy of growing the business in the European retail marketplace,” said Pierre Servant, CEO of Natixis Global Asset Management and member of the senior management committee of Natixis in charge of Investment Solutions.
“As an affiliate of Natixis Global Asset Management we will be able to replicate the success that we have had in France and Italy over the past 15 years and step up our international expansion. We believe that Natixis’ centralized global distribution platform will help us develop our retail and institutional business and provide investors with a range of simple and understandable funds that deliver results that strengthen their portfolios,” said Eric Franc, CEO of DNCA Finance.
