BNP Paribas Asset Management is the dedicated, autonomous asset management business of BNP Paribas Group.

In 2007, BNP Paribas regrouped its function in asset management under the brand name BNP Paribas Investment Partners.

[1] In August 2024, BNP Paribas Asset Management entered exclusive talks with Axa for the acquisition of Axa Investment Managers for €5.1bn.

[3] On 21 December 2014, Axa and BNP Paribas signed the purchase agreement of Axa Investment Managers by Cardif (BNP Paribas' insurance company).

[4] By using its insurance company for completing the purchase, BNP Paribas aims at benefiting from the "Danish compromise" (an EU rule that reduce the costs of owning a bank for an insurer relatively to a bank, in terms of risk-weighted assets and therefore of capital ratio).
