Lyxor Exchange Traded Funds (ETF)

Lyxor is a prominent brand in the European investment landscape, originally established as a pioneer in the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market. The brand was founded in France as a derivative of the financial services giant Société Générale. For decades, Lyxor was synonymous with French financial engineering, providing sophisticated asset management and index-tracking products to investors across the globe.

In a major shift within the financial industry, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by the French asset management powerhouse Amundi. This acquisition, which was finalized in early 2022 and fully integrated by 2024, consolidated Lyxor's operations under the Amundi umbrella. This move created the largest ETF provider in Europe, combining Lyxor's technological heritage with Amundi's massive scale.

Today, Lyxor operates as a sub-brand or product line within Amundi's ecosystem. While the brand has French roots and its ultimate parent company remains headquartered in Paris, France, its financial products are domiciled and managed across various European jurisdictions, primarily in France and Luxembourg, to serve a global market. The ultimate ownership structure leads to Crédit Agricole Group, which holds a majority stake in Amundi.
