Amundi Acquires Aixigo to Strengthen Technological Solutions for Wealth Management
Amundi has announced the acquisition of Aixigo, a Germany-based technology company specializing in modular service offerings for distributors of savings solutions. Aixigo’s API-driven platform enables seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures, empowering banks and financial intermediaries to deploy innovative services swiftly and efficiently.
The acquisition aligns with the growing demand for digital tools in wealth management, where technology is increasingly critical for enhancing customer relationships and operational efficiency. Amundi’s move further solidifies its position as a leading provider of technology solutions in the investment and savings industry.
Strategic Synergy Between Two Platforms
Founded 25 years ago, Aixigo has rapidly expanded its reach, serving over 20 clients managing more than €1 trillion in assets under management. Its platform, utilized daily by approximately 60,000 advisors, supports client onboarding, portfolio management, order execution, and reporting.
Amundi Technology, a key business line of Amundi, offers solutions across portfolio management, employee savings, wealth management, and asset servicing. With over 60 clients in Europe and Asia, Amundi Technology will integrate Aixigo’s tools to provide enhanced solutions across the savings value chain.
Value Creation and Market Expansion
The €149 million transaction is expected to deliver a return on investment of nearly 10% within three years, rising to over 12% after four years. Aixigo’s client base in Germany, Switzerland, and the UK will complement Amundi Technology’s existing presence, accelerating growth in the wealth management and private banking sectors.
Amundi’s CEO, Valérie Baudson, highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition:
“This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver innovative, efficient, and personalized solutions, further supporting financial advisory and wealth management development.”
