Asset manager Natixis Investment Managers has launched Natixis Dynamic Solutions, which will offer investment solutions for the Natixis group.

Natixis Dynamic Solutions has been formed by consolidating Natixis Investment Managers’ European investment solutions capabilities into a central group that uses its former portfolio research and consulting group (PRCG) and the former investment and client solutions (ICS) unit of Ostrum, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers.

Dynamic Solutions will selectively access a range of investment affiliates to deliver investment solutions as well as provide advisory, structuring and fiduciary management services.

James Hughes, former global head of strategic client solutions for Aberdeen Standard Investments, will lead the new business and report to chief executive Jean Raby. Prior to joining Aberdeen Standard Investments, Hughes was managing director of multi-asset solutions for Gottex Fund Management.

Claire Martinetto, former project leader of the solutions initiative for Natixis Investment Managers, will serve as deputy head of the group. Natixis Dynamic Solutions has three main areas of investment solution - consulting and advisory, led by James Beaumont, former head of PRCG; investment solutions and services, led by Oumar Diawara, former head of the structured investment services platform at Seeyond; and multi-asset multi-affiliate investments, led by Franck Nicolas, former head of investment and client solutions at Ostrum.
