Following the acquisition of AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) on 1 July 2025, BNP Paribas has announced the integration of its asset management activities.
On the 31 December 2025, BNP Paribas asset management activities AXA IM, BNP Paribas Real Estate Investment Management (BNPP REIM) and BNP Paribas Asset Management (BNPP AM) merged their main legal entities under a unified structure owned by BNP Paribas Cardif.
They now operate under a single brand name — BNP Paribas Asset Management.
Renaud Dumora, deputy chief operating officer of BNP Paribas, in charge of Investment and Protection Services and chairman of BNP Paribas Cardif's board, says: “The realisation of this project in line with our initial roadmap reflects the commitment of all teams, but also the conviction that having a strong asset management platform within our integrated model enhances our capacity to serve, on the one hand, individuals, institutional funds and insurers, and on the other hand, more broadly, our economy.
“Our unified asset management platform will notably deliver strong expertise in long-term savings, addressing one of Europe’s most significant challenges.”
Sandro Pierri, CEO of BNP Paribas Asset Management, adds: “The completion of this merger marks a decisive step in building a leading asset management platform across all key asset classes.
“All our teams are committed to ensuring business continuity and executing the integration with discipline.
“We are excited by the long-term potential this combination creates to deliver superior investment performance for our clients across asset classes and accelerate growth for our asset management activities.”
