Our Asset Management division launched a flexible emerging debt fund and its first private equity fund dedicated to Living Heritage Companies (Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant); at the same time it won a large number of first class institutional mandates.
“In addition, we finalised the reorganisation of our brokerage division against a backdrop of positive progress on a number of fronts, including execution (especially electronic), research and IPOs.”
