Advancements in Responsible Investment and Private Debt
Amundi secured important ESG mandates such as a low-carbon index for Chile’s sovereign wealth fund, and attracted new private debt mandates from German pension funds, anchored by its Amundi Alpha Associates expertise[1][2].
Technology Services Expansion
Revenues from Amundi Technology grew +48% year-on-year, benefiting from the integration of aixigo and organic growth, strengthening digital and fund distribution capabilities, with over €613 billion assets under fund distribution[3][4].

Additional notable developments include the launch of new index funds aligned with regional market growth, exemplified by the July 2025 collaboration with Endowus to launch Singapore’s first STI-focused index fund, blending Amundi’s index expertise with a regional digital platform[5].
