About Natixis

Natixis is a French corporate and investment banking group created in 2006 and operating as the wholesale and specialized financial-services arm of Groupe BPCE; publicly listed on Euronext Paris, it combines asset and wealth management, corporate and investment banking, insurance, payments and securities-services businesses and maintains an international footprint serving institutional, corporate and, indirectly through the BPCE retail network, retail clients. The bank’s business mix pairs fee-generating, asset-management and custody activities with market-facing trading, financing and advisory operations, producing revenues that are sensitive to market cycles and liquidity conditions; as an institution it is subject to French and European banking regulation and supervisory scrutiny and its capital and risk profile are influenced by the strategic relationship and ownership structure with BPCE. Key considerations for counterparties and investors include the cyclical nature of earnings across capital-markets and asset-management units, exposure to market and credit risk inherent in wholesale activities, the potential for regulatory and litigation costs typical of large banks, and the extent to which group-level decisions affect capital allocation and business priorities; up-to-date financial statements, regulatory filings and credit-agency assessments should be reviewed for a current assessment of financial strength and risk.
