This year, Valérie Baudson,, featured as a keynote speaker of the IPEM, talking about the trends and drivers of the convergence between public and private markets, as well as the trajectory for retailisation and the development of secondaries in private markets.
Amundi together with Crédit Agricole Group stood out as one of the most important and visible exhibitors at the forum, which is a reflection of the increasing role that the group has been taking in the private markets’ industry over the last decade in Europe.
