BNP Paribas has entered into exclusive negotiations with AXA to acquire 100% of AXA Investment Managers, with nearly €850bn in assets under management. This strategic move would include a long-term strategic partnership in Asset Management.   This envisaged acquisition would elevate BNP Paribas to a leading position in the European asset management sector, with combined assets under management totaling €1,500bn. It would also enhance our capabilities in managing long-term savings assets for insurers and pension funds.   The proposed transaction is expected to close by mid-2025, pending antitrust and regulatory approvals. https://lnkd.in/eX9_3P4T

The Group performed very well in the 2nd quarter 2024 thanks to the business momentum of its operating divisions. In the second half of 2024, we will also continue to implement operating efficiency measures, and maintain our disciplined management of cost of risk through the cycle. 2Q24 also confirmed BNP Paribas’ leadership in sustainability, as noted by recent rankings, in particular the “World’s Best Bank for Financial Inclusion” award at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2024. The second quarter saw the deployment of several innovative solutions to address client needs. In addition to this financial performance, the second quarter of 2024 showed the ongoing ambitious and disciplined development in artificial intelligence (AI), as illustrated by the recently expanded partnership with Mistral AI. With the second half of the year already under way, BNP Paribas benefits from key strengths in continuing its trajectory. These include its diversified and integrated model limiting its dependence on any one business or geographical region. Read more on https://bnpp.lk/2Q24 #BNPPResults

L’opéra est : - Un art intimidant ? 😬 - Un art inaccessible ? 😏 - Un art trop couteux ? 🤑 - Un art déconnecté ? 🤯 Pour nous, il n’en est rien. Notre mécénat culturel a d’ailleurs pour mission de battre en brèche tous ces arguments qui empêchent le public de profiter pleinement des différentes nuances et de la grande richesse de répertoires qu’offre cet art qui fait avant tout appel à nos émotions. Comment ? En soutenant les avant-premières de l’Opera National de Paris, la Fondation contribue à ce que plus de 30 000 places soient réservées à des jeunes de moins 28 ans au tarif unique de 10 € pour leur permettre de découvrir le répertoire lyrique et chorégraphique de cette institution d’excellence. Des jeunes bénéficiaires de nos associations partenaires ont ainsi pu voir en avant-première la soirée de ballet Jerome Robbins dans laquelle cette figure majeure du néo-classicisme américain propose trois œuvres qui mêlent de manière inimitable légèreté, humour et romantisme.
