At its recent Asia workshop with analysts, Amundi highlighted the strategic importance of Asia to the Group’s future development and the execution of its 2028 Strategic Plan “Invest for the future”. With €470 billion in assets under management in the region - four times more than a decade ago - Asia is a major growth engine for Amundi.
We set out a clear ambition in Asia: to generate more than €150 billion of net inflows by 2028, representing around half of Amundi’s overall Strategic Plan target. This outlook is supported by several powerful long-term trends, including the rapid expansion of retail investing, the strong development of institutional markets, rising retirement needs and growing demand for diversification in an uncertain geopolitical environment.Amundi’s strength in Asia rests on a unique model combining direct presence and joint ventures. Present in the region for more than 50 years, the Group has built a strong local footprint with 12 offices, 9 investment hubs and more than 400 employees in its direct presence. Its four strategic joint ventures in China, South Korea and India represent more than €360 billion in assets and are key drivers of future momentum.The workshop also showcased Amundi’s tailored market approach, adapted to the specificities of each country:
- in China, a complementary platform combining joint ventures and direct presence;
- in South Korea, a dual set-up with strong momentum;
- in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and South-East Asia, a strategy built on local expertise, partnerships and innovation.
Amundi also underlined the strength of its global-local investment platform, covering the full range of solutions: active management, ETFs, private assets, retirement solutions, technology services and tailored offerings. Innovation, including digital and tokenised solutions, as well as continued investment in talent, will be key enablers of the Group’s next phase of expansion.
