Paris, 4 February 2025
Amundi's Board of Directors met on 3 February 2025 under the chairmanship of Philippe Brassac, and approved the financial statements for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.
Valérie Baudson, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"2024 was a record year for Amundi, both in terms of results and activity. Our net income has reached €1.4bn and our net inflows have doubled compared to 2023.
Our assets under management are at an all-time high, at more than €2.2tn, thanks to very dynamic inflows in several strategic areas, such as third-party distributors, ETFs and Asia. We have also confirmed and expanded our leading position in fixed income strategies. The success of our technological services offer was also strengthened.
Finally, we carried out three external growth operations. They accelerate our development and create value for our clients and shareholders.
This commercial performance translated into record results, both for the year and in the fourth quarter. Our cost/income ratio, at the best level in the industry, is already in line with our 2025 target. This strong financial performance allows us to propose an increased dividend, offering an attractive return for our shareholders.
2024 marks an acceleration of the diversification that was initiated with the plan Ambitions 2025, several objectives of which have already been achieved, one year ahead of schedule.
Close to our clients and attentive to their needs, we are very well positioned on the mega-trends of the savings industry. This makes us confident about our future growth. »

Accelerating diversification on industry mega-trends
In 2024, the strategic priorities of the plan Ambitions 2025 contributed significantly to the growth of activity and results. They ideally position Amundi on the key growth drivers of the savings industry.
- Third-Party Distribution delivered strong growth in its assets under management, +27% year-on-year to €401bn at the end of December and at the objective of the plan Ambitions 2025, one year ahead of schedule; Third-Party Distribution now represents 57% of Retail segment's assets under management; 2024 net inflows of +€32bn were at an all-time high, highly diversified across all regions and asset classes: +€5bn in active management, +€18bn in ETFs and +€9bn in treasury products; Q4 was the strongest quarter for inflows in history, at +€13bn, with the same dominance as for the year; 12 new partnerships with digital players were signed in 2024 (BourseDirect, Scalable, Moneyfarm, etc.), bringing to 45 the number of partnerships with this type of player, in Europe and Asia;
- ETFs4 reached €268bn in assets under management at the end of December, up +30% year-on-year, driven by record net inflows of +€27.8bn for the year, including +€10.5bn in Q4, diversified by client segments and between equity and fixed income products; these inflows were driven by the success of the US and global equity ranges, in particular the S&P500 ETF, innovative products such as the Amundi MSCI US Mega Cap and ex Mega Cap, as well as the Amundi Prime All Country World UCIT ETF, which has gathered more than +€2bn in 9 months;
- Asia saw its assets under management increase by +17% year-on-year, to €469bn, thanks to +€28bn in inflows in 2024, positive in the 9 countries where Amundi operates; the Indian JV SBI MF continued to grow (€292bn in assets under management, +23% year-on-year with +€20.6bn in net inflows), as well as direct distribution excluding JVs (€103bn in assets under management, +16% year-on-year, with 2024 net inflows of +€5bn); 2024 was marked by the success of the partnership with Standard Chartered and the launch of a range of "CIO Signature Funds", with assets under management reaching $2bn managed on behalf of the bank's clients in 11 countries, in Asia, the Middle East and Africa; finally, the contribution to net income from Asian JVs, at €123m, increased by +20.9%, particularly the Indian JV (+31.5%, at €104m);
- Fixed income expertise now manages €1,190bn in assets under management5 via a very wide range of solutions, which we have adapted in the face of the variations in long-term rates over the year; these solutions gathered +€57.5bn5 in 2024, of which +€11.7bn5 in Q4, thanks to a wider range of strategies: Amundi remains, as in 2023, the leader in Europe for maturity funds and fixed income ETFs, and the success of the inflows extended in 2024 to short-term fixed income solutions, securitisation, euro credit or stable duration strategies;
- technology revenues recorded a strong increase by +33.8% compared to 2023, to €80m, and +47.1% Q4/Q4; Amundi Technology completed in Q4 the acquisition of the European leader in Wealth Tech, aixigo, complementing the ALTO6 Wealth and Distribution platform with a modular offering recognised in the industry.
Objectives of the plan Ambitions 2025 achieved one year ahead of schedule
Major objectives were achieved by 2024 and Amundi's financial results are higher than planned in the trajectory of the Plan Ambitions 2025:
- assets under management targets have been or are close to being reached at the end of 2024, a year ahead of schedule, for third-party distributors (€401bn vs. the €400bn target), passive management (€418bn vs. €420bn) and even Asia (€469bn, at 6% of the €500bn target);
- 2024 cost income ratio2 at 52,5%, is already on target for 2025 (less than 53%);
- 2024 net income2, at €1,382m, shows an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of +6.1% compared to the reference 2021 net income7 of the Plan, above the target of +5%; even restated for the slight positive market effect between 2021 and 2024, it is above the target, at +5.5%;
- for 2024, the proposed dividend of €4.25 per share corresponds to a payout ratio8 of 67%, above the minimum target of the Medium-Term Plan (65%), as in 2022 and 2023;
- the average dividend payout ratio over 2022-24, at 72%, corresponds to a distribution surplus of +€0.24bn over the period, to which are added three external transactions that also consumed the capital generated over the period to the tune of +€0.5bn; the surplus capital remaining available for acquisitions at the end of 2024 is above €1bn;
- Amundi has achieved three external growth operations: the acquisition of the private assets multi-management specialist Alpha Associates, closed in April 2024, the partnership with the US asset manager Victory Capital, signed in July and expected to be completed towards the end of the first quarter of 2025, and finally the acquisition of the Wealth Tech aixigo, closed in November 2024; these three operations are in line with the strategic and financial objectives of the plan Ambitions 2025; they will generate by 2027E9 a combined accretion of earnings per share2 of about +5% and a return on investment of around 12%;
- finally, the extra-financial and climate commitments of the plan ESG Ambitions 2025 have been achieved or are on their way to being achieved:
- the share of ETFs (in number) meeting the ESG criteria10 of the SFDR regulation reached 37% at the end of 2024, compared to a target of 40% at the end of 2025;
- the number of companies with which we have engaged in shareholder dialogue on their climate transition plans has increased by +1,478 since 2021, compared to a target of +1,000 over 2021-25;
- Greenhouse gas emissions per employee fell by -62% compared to 2018 on scopes 1, 2, and 3, against a target of a -30% reduction.
Activity
A favourable market environment in the quarter as well as over the year
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the average level of equity markets11 increased by +2.8% compared to the previous quarter and by +19.5% compared to the same quarter of 2023. European bond markets12 were also up, by +1.6% compared to the previous quarter and by +6.7% compared to the same quarter of 2023, reflecting the ECB's rate cut decisions and the tightening of credit spreads. The market effect is therefore positive on the evolution of Amundi's revenues over these two periods.
Compared to the 2021 averages reference for the Plan Ambitions 2025, the market effect is only very slightly positive.
The asset management market in Europe continued its recovery in the fourth quarter. Net inflows in open-ended funds13, at +€232bn, were driven by passive management (+€111bn) and by treasury products (+€74bn). For the third consecutive quarter, medium- to long-term active management recorded positive flows (+€46bn) driven by fixed income strategies (+€61bn).
Inflows at the highest level since 2021, more than double the 2023 net inflows, and new record for assets
Net inflows in the quarter amounted to +€20.5bn. For the year, net inflows reached +€55.4bn, twice the level of 2023.
Amundi's assets under management3 as of 31 December 2024 grew by +2.2% over the quarter and +10.0% over the year to reach a new record of €2,240bn. They benefited from market appreciation and from a high level of inflows, the highest since 2021. The market and currency effect amounted to +€28.1bn in the fourth quarter of 2024, and +€140.1bn in 2024. The increase in assets under management also benefited from the integration of Alpha Associates since the second quarter of 2024 (+€7.9bn in April).
Net inflows for the year amount to +€55.4bn, of which +€34bn in MLT assets14,15. The last quarter is particularly dynamic, +€17.9bn, thus representing more than half of the MLT inflows14 of the year.
These MLT14 inflows continued this quarter to be driven by ETFs (+€10.5bn) and active management (+€5.5bn), notably through the active fixed income strategies (+€9.1bn). Also of note was a good performance in structured products, at +€0.9bn.
The rest of net inflows for the quarter came from treasury products (+€0.7bn) and JVs (+€1.9bn)
All client segments contributed to the positive net inflows:
- the Retail segment, at +€11.5bn, recorded its highest level of inflows since 2021, thanks to Third-Party Distributors (+€12.7bn); Partner networks in France experienced net positive flows (+€0.8bn), compared to net outflows from International networks (-€1.4bn) and at Amundi BOC WM;
- The Institutional segment, at +€7.1bn, of which +€10.8bn in MLT assets14, benefited from a strong contribution from Institutionals and Sovereigns (+€7.4bn) as well as CA & SG Insurers (+3,7€bn) in MLT assets14, and from Corporates (+€9.1bn) in treasury products;
- JVs (+€1.9bn) continued to benefit from dynamic inflows from SBI MF in India (+€2.3bn).
It should be noted regarding SBI MF that the request for proposal, for the redeployment of the mandate of the Indian pension fund EPFO16 has been launched. A significant outflow is therefore likely to be expected in the second or third quarter of 2025, with a completely negligible effect on the revenues of the JV.
Fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results
Q4 2024: strong growth in net income2, +20% Q4/Q4, highest quarter ever
Adjusted data2
In the fourth quarter of 2024, adjusted net income2 reached €377m, up +20.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
It includes Alpha Associates, whose acquisition was finalised in early April, as well as aixigo for two months in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The growth in net income is mainly due to revenue growth and the very strong momentum of Asian JVs.
Adjusted net revenues2 reached €924m, up +14.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, mainly driven by management and technology revenues:
- the sustained growth in net management fees, of +13.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, to €820m, reflects the good level of activity and the increase in average assets under management excluding JVs (+10.5% over the same period);
- performance fees (€57m) increased by +67.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 (€34m), benefiting from the good performance of Amundi's management teams, with more than 69% of assets under management ranked in the first or second quartiles according to Morningstar17 over 1, 3 or 5 years, and 247 Amundi funds rated 4 or 5 stars by Morningstar as of 31 December; fixed income strategies accounted for half of total performance fees, coming from very much diversified strategies;
- Amundi Technology's revenues, at €26m, continued to grow strongly (+47.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023), amplified this quarter by the first consolidation of aixigo for two months in the fourth quarter (+€5m);
- finally, financial and other income2 amounted to €21m, down from the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the impact of lower short-term rates in the euro area.
The increase in Operating expenses2, by +13.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, to €482m, remains lower than the increase in revenues (+14.6%) thus generating a positive jaws effect which reflects the Group's operational efficiency.
This increase is explained by:
- the first consolidation of Alpha Associates and aixigo;
- investments in development initiatives of the plan Ambitions 2025, including technology, third-party distribution, Asia;
- provisioning for individual variable remuneration, in line with the growth in results
- non-recurring items, including the charge related to the discount proposed in the context of the capital increases of the Amundi and Crédit Agricole S.A. groups, which was reserved for Amundi's employees;
Excluding these elements, the increase is in line with inflation (2.5%).
The Cost income ratio at 52,1% in adjusted data2, improved from the same quarter last year.
The Adjusted gross operating income2 (GOI) amounted to €443m, up +16,4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, reflecting revenue growth.
Income from equity-accounted companies18, at €29m, was up +1.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Growth was slowed by the impact of the decline in Indian equity markets on the financial income of our JV, SBI MF, which though continues to benefit from the strong growth of its business along the year.
Adjusted earnings per share2 in the fourth quarter of 2024 reached €1.84, up +20,2%.
Accounting data in the fourth quarter of 2024
Accounting Net income Group share amounted to €349m, including non-cash expenses related to the acquisitions of Alpha Associates and aixigo, and the amortisation of intangible assets related to distribution contracts and client contracts, for a total of -€17m after tax. Integration costs related to aixigo and the partnership with Victory Capital, whose closing is expected towards the end of the first quarter 2025, were also recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024, for a total of -€10m after tax. In addition, depreciation and amortisation on adjustments to the value of intangible assets after the integration of aixigo were also recorded in operating expenses for -€1m after tax (see p. 12 for a detail of all these items).
Accounting earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2024 reached €1.70.
2024: record net income
For the year 2024, the adjusted net income2 amounts to €1,382m, up +13.0%.
This strong growth reflects the high level of activity:
- Adjusted net revenues2 have increased by +9,2% compared to 2023, to €3,497m, mainly driven by management revenues; net management fees increased by +8.3%, in line with the growth in average assets under management; the increase in performance fees (+17.3%) is explained by a very good performance of the management teams, particularly for active bond strategies; Amundi Technology's revenues also grew strongly, by +33.8% to €80m with the ramp-up of revenues gained from the acquisition of 8 clients in 2024, and reinforced with the acquisition of aixigo for two months in 2024 (+€5m);
- Net management fee margins were stable compared to 2023 at 17.7 basis points, as the positive effects of market appreciation and the client mix offset the unfavourable effect of the product mix;
- Adjusted operating expenses2 grew less than revenues, by +7.7% to €1,837m, generating a positive jaws effect; almost half of this increase was due to the consolidation of Alpha Associates and aixigo, investments in growth areas (technology, ETFs, third-party distribution, Asia, etc.) and higher provisions for variable compensation, in line with the increase in revenues;
- the Adjusted cost income ratio2 reached 52.5%, compared to 53.2% in 2023, at the best level and at the 2025 target.
The Adjusted gross operating income2 (GOI) amounted to €1,660m, up +10,8% compared to 2023.
Income from equity-accounted companies18 accentuates this growth. At €123m, +20.9% compared to the full year of 2023, it grew faster than operating profit, mainly driven by India, whose contribution exceeded €100m (€104m) for the first time.
Adjusted earnings per share2 reached €6.75 in 2024.
Accounting data for the year 2024
Accounting Net income Group share amounted to €1,305m, including non-cash expenses related to the acquisitions of Alpha Associates and aixigo and the amortisation of intangible assets related to distribution contracts and client contracts, for a total of -€67m after tax. Integration costs related to aixigo and the partnership with Victory Capital, whose closing is expected towards the end of the first quarter 2025, were also recorded in 2024, for a total of -€10m after tax. In addition, depreciation and amortisation on adjustments to the value of intangible assets after the integration of aixigo were also recorded in operating expenses for -€1m after tax (see p. 12 for a detail of all these items).
Accounting earnings per share for the year 2024 reached €6.37.
A solid financial structure and a dividend of €4.25 per share
Tangible net assets19 amounted to €4.5bn at 31 December 2024, up +€0.2bn or +4.5% compared to the end of 2023. This increase is in particular the result of the accounting net income for the year 2024 (+€1.4bn20) the payment of dividends (-€0.8bn) for the 2023 financial year and the recognition of goodwill and intangible assets in respect of the two acquisitions finalised in 2024, Alpha Associates and aixigo (-€0.5bn).
On 5 September 2024, the FitchRatings rating agency confirmed Amundi's long-term rating at A+ with a stable outlook, the best in the sector.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting on 27 May 2025, a dividend of €4.25 per share, in cash, an increase compared to the dividend paid for the 2023 financial year.
This dividend corresponds to a payout ratio of 67% of net income Group share, and a yield of more than 6% based on the share price as of 31 January 2025 (closing price of €68).
The ex-dividend date will be Tuesday 10 June 2025 and will be paid as of Thursday 12 June 2025.
Since the listing in November 2015, the TSR21 (total shareholder return) has been +126%, i.e. +9.2% per year on average.

Methodology appendix
Accounting & adjusted data
Accounting data - They include the amortisation of intangible assets, recorded as other income; since Q2 2024, other non-cash expenses spread according to the schedule of payments of the earn-out until the end of 2029; these expenses are booked as deductions from revenues, in financial costs, and since Q4, the amortisation charge of the technology asset related to the acquisition of aixigo, booked as amortisation of intangible assets in operating expenses.
Integration costs related to the transaction with Victory Capital and amortisation of the aixigo related PPA were recorded in the fourth quarter, in operating expenses, for a combined amount of -€14m pre-tax and -€11m after-tax. No costs of that nature were recorded in the first nine months of 2024 or in the 2023 financial year.
The aggregate amounts of these items are as follows for the different periods under review:
- Q4 2023: -€20m before tax and -€15m after tax
- 2023: -€82m before tax and -€59m after tax
- Q3 2024: -€24m pre-tax and -€17m after tax
- Q4 2024: -€38m before tax and -€28m after tax
- 2024: -€106m before tax and -€77m after tax
Adjusted data - In order to present an income statement that is closer to economic reality, the following adjustments are made: restatement of the amortisation of distribution contracts with Bawag, UniCredit and Banco Sabadell, intangible assets representing client contracts of Lyxor and, since the second quarter of 2024, Alpha Associates, as well as other non-cash charges related to the acquisition of Alpha Associates; such depreciation and amortisation and non-cash expenses. are recorded as a deduction from net revenues; restatement of the amortisation of a technological asset related ot the acquisition of aixigo, recorded in operating expenses.

In accordance with IFRS 3, recognition of Amundi's balance sheet as at 01/04/2024:
- goodwill of €288m;
- an intangible asset of €50m, representing client contracts, depreciable on a straight-line basis until the end of 2030;
- a liability representing the conditional earn-out not yet paid, for €160m, including an actuarial discount of -€30m, which will be amortised over 6 years.
In the Group's income statement, the following is recorded:
- amortisation of intangible assets for a full-year expense of -€7.6m (-€6.1m after tax); in 2024 (9 months of integration) this corresponds to -€5.7m (-€4.6m after tax)
- other non-cash expenses spread according to the schedule of payments of the earn-out until the end of 2029; these expenses are recorded as deductions from net income, as financial expenses; in 2024 (9 months) they represent -€4.3m (-€3.2m after tax).
Over twelve months 2024, these expenses and depreciation and amortisation are therefore -€10m before tax for 9 months. They only started in Q2.
In Q4 2024, the amortisation of intangible assets was -€1.9m before tax (-€1.5m after tax) and non-cash expenses were -€1.4m before tax (i.e. -€1.1m after tax).
