The new arm of the Paris-headquartered firm will give institutional investors in Mexico access to investment solutions through its global network of affiliated asset managers, who are based in Europe, Asia and the US.
The company will also work in partnership with the Mexican Retirement Funds Administrators (Administradoras de Fondos para el Retiro, or “Afores”), centring its investment strategy on clients’ long term goals.
Managing director for Mexico, Mauricio Giordano, said the decision to set up a base in Mexico City not only signifies the company’s “long-term commitment to the region”, but gives Mexican institutional investors “two critical advantages”.
“Firstly, it provides investors with the safety and strength of a global group with extensive experience in the institutional market,” he said. “Secondly the opportunity to access a wide range of investment solutions and sophisticated expertise through each of its affiliate asset managers.”
The Mexican sector of Natixis Global AM’s business will work alongside a local team to identify investment opportunities in the Mexican institutional market.
