Tracking the Activities of Global Asset Managers in Latin America
BBVA AM is looking to launch a megatrend fund focused on environmental, demographic and technology themes, says CEO Jaime Lazaro.
Javier Alamillo told Fund Pro Latin America that the Mexican asset manager will launch a new multi-thematic fund after the launch of its latest global ESG product with Robeco.
The Amafore’s vice-president, Alvaro Melendez, says he expects the change to occur toward the end of July or beginning of August 2021.
The Spanish firm is launching UCITS FoFs with Amundi, Morgan Stanley, Robeco, JPMorgan and PIMCO. The products will be distributed in Latin America either directly or via locally domiciled feeders.
AFPs injected USD 760 million into emerging-markets bonds and USD 743 million into Asian equity in February, as total cross-border allocations passed the USD 80 billion mark.
The European giant will debut a low-carbon and a floating-rate ETF in dollars which, like Amundi's active strategies, focus on obtaining good returns for clients, while generating positive impacts on climate, social responsibility and good governance.
The former AFP Provida executive will take on a client segment made up of central banks and sovereign funds, while also working to strengthen already-established distribution ties with regional AFPs.
After its merger with Pioneer, Amundi has decided to attack the Latin American institutional market from Santiago and Mexico, leveraging the experience of Silvia Fernández, who led Pioneer's distribution area in Andean markets.
Jose Castellano has stepped aside after 16 years at Pioneer Investments, whose pending merger with Amundi was recently approved by the European Commission.
With over EUR 1 trillion in assets, Amundi is ranked the world’s 12th-largest asset manager. The Pioneer deal would turn it into the world’s eighth-largest asset manager, according to main shareholder Credit Agricole SA of France, handling EUR 1.3 trillion in assets.
