[#Acquisition] | Amundi announces the acquisition of aixigo, a technology company that has developed a high value-added modular service offering for distributors of savings solutions. Whilst digital technology has become a key lever to managing customer relations for wealth managers, the latter are also seeking to leverage technologies to enable their staff to advise, distribute and manage #investment solutions more effectively. As a result, the market for technological services for wealth management players as well as private and retail banks, is growing significantly. Amundi, which is already active in this buoyant market through its Amundi Technology business line, will accelerate its development with the acquisition of aixigo, and thus reinforces its positioning as a leading provider of #technology and services. The client and geographical coverage of Amundi in this market will be further enhanced notably in Germany and Switzerland. ▶️ To learn more: https://lnkd.in/e2hXEiii

🗞 [#Press] What should investors anticipate following the Trump victory?

John also highlighted the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 25 basis points in November and December, which, along with increased spending under Trump, may impact long-term bond yields and the U.S. dollar.
