Appointments within Natixis Investment Managers

The creation of the COO role for Natixis Investment Managers and the appointment of Joseph Pinto – who will take up his role in the coming months – reinforce Natixis Investment Managers’ management team and enhance its operational efficiency. Joseph Pinto will report to Jean Raby, CEO of Natixis Investment Managers, member of the Senior Management Committee of Natixis in charge of Asset and Wealth Management.

Philippe will replace Matthieu Duncan who has resigned from his role as Chief Executive Officer of Ostrum Asset Management (Ostrum AM) in order to pursue other interests. Philippe will take up his role at the end of November, until which time Matthieu will remain in his role.

François Riahi, Chief Executive Officer of Natixis said: “With Philippe Setbon and Joseph Pinto, we welcome to the Natixis Executive Committee two leading asset management professionals. Joseph Pinto, whose international background perfectly fits with our setup, will bring significant added-value to our multi-affiliate business model at a truly transformative moment for the industry. Philippe Setbon will lead one of our key strategic initiatives; the creation and development with La Banque Postale Asset Management of a European leader focused on insurance-related euro fixed income.”     

Jean Raby said: “Joseph and Philippe’s recognized experience and expertise will bolster Natixis IM and Ostrum AM’s growth and operational efficiency and will contribute to further power the continued development of our business. I thank Matthieu Duncan for his contribution to the successful transformation and repositioning of Ostrum AM that he has overseen over the past three years.”
