Less than four months after the announcement of the merger of the activities of the Ofi group, Abeille Asset Management, Abeille REIM and Aéma REIM, Ofi Invest has been officially created and has been up and running since 1st January 2023.

With a full range of responsible investment solutions, Ofi Invest aims to assemble capabilities and create solutions adapted to all categories of investors and savers, both institutionals and individuals, while tapping into distribution networks and partners in France and internationally.

Jean-Pierre Grimaud, CEO of Ofi Invest: “The success of this project has been built on the goal of bringing together experts in responsible finance. It is also based on the commitment of our 600 employees who strive each day to make our group a benchmark offering multiple, complementary services to benefit our institutional investors and individual savers. Ofi Invest has moved up to the next level to derive greater value out of what makes us unique – our design of innovative funds, our quality of service, our proximity with clients, and our ability to offer investment solutions adapted to all our clients. Ofi Invest also endeavours to be a local player that is engaged with its ecosystem and is confident that innovation is the key to more responsible finance.”
