Natixis Awarded Investment Bank of the Year for Equity-linked Products at The Banker Awards 2020

Natixis was awarded Investment Bank of the Year for Equity-linked Products, at the 2020 Banker Awards.

The award was specifically granted for the ‘Development des Territoires’ product, a product that combines a social bond dedicated to local economic development within France and a climate index. All of the proceeds from the social bond will finance local small businesses in economically and socially disadvantaged areas of metropolitan France, particularly those hit hard by the Covid-19 crisis, which is apt considering the product takes its name from the aim of reducing territorial inequalities. The climate index —  Euronext Climate Objective Euro Decrement 5% — a strong performer among ESG indices, is focused on companies that address climate issues via their products and services or by reducing their carbon footprints. 

The product is offered in partnership with insurer Groupama, with Natixis acting as issuer and the structured notes distributed by Groupama via Groupe Gan Vie life insurance policies.
