Amundi ‘Extremely Confident’ as Asset Owners Review Mandates (3)

Amundi SA says it’s expecting to see more inflows as a result of what it describes as ongoing adjustments in institutional mandates triggered by a growing desire to manage climate risk.

Europe’s largest money manager, which last month reported a record €2.32 trillion ($2.68 trillion) of assets under management, is already seeing the benefits of its focus on climate, according to Jean-Jacques Barberis, Amundi’s head of institutional, corporate clients and ESG.

An emphasis on sustainability has become “a differentiating element to conquer more business on the institutional side,” Barberis said in an interview. “We remain extremely confident.”
