Amundi Unveils “Invest for the Future” Strategic Plan for 2025‑2028

Amundi, Europe’s leading asset manager, today revealed its new strategic plan for 2025‑2028—dubbed “Invest for the Future”—aimed at delivering long‑term leadership, accelerated growth and sustained value creation for shareholders. The plan sets six strategic priorities: Accelerate client diversification, with particular emphasis on retirement and digital segments. Expand geographic reach, especially across Asia, Northern Europe and high‑potential regions such as the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. Drive innovation across active, passive and private asset solutions—including plans to launch 100 new ETFs by 2028 and a dedicated business line for active & white‑label ETF products. Activate a technology roadmap to become the preferred solution provider in Europe and Asia, including doubling revenues at its tech division and leveraging its AI‑studio and Data‑as‑a‑Service offerings. Optimise its operating model to deliver higher efficiency, including deploying proprietary AI platforms to support operations, converting 100% platform access into 80% regular‑staff usage by 2028, and redirecting resources toward growth areas. Invest for value creation both organically and through M&A: targeting more than €800 million in organic investment over the plan horizon, and pursuing external growth opportunities with a minimum 10% return on investment within three years. Financial targets under the plan include: More than €300 billion in cumulative net inflows across strategic growth pillars by 2028. Earnings per share exceeding €7 in 2028 under a constant market and forex scenario. Industry‑leading cost efficiency with a cost‑income ratio below 56%. A shareholder payout ratio of at least 65% for the 2025‑28 period, alongside a share buy‑back to return remaining excess capital in 2026. CEO Valérie Baudson commented: “Thanks to the delivery of our Ambitions 2025 strategic plan we have reinforced our position as the leading European asset manager and a top 8 global player… Through our new plan, we will deliver further growth, industry‑leading efficiency… while investing in the continued strengthening of our solutions, and innovating across technology and digitalisation to anticipate market needs.” Overall, Amundi says the “Invest for the Future” plan will enable it to capture demographic and structural trends in savings and investment, accelerate its transformation, and deliver value for clients, shareholders and all stakeholders over the medium term. #AmundiStrategy #InvestForTheFuture #AssetManagementGrowth #FinanceInnovation #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
