Amundi Execution Services

What sets our execution model apart

01 Built by asset managers, for asset managers

We trade to deliver the best outcome for clients.

  • Same desk, same standards: the traders and infrastructure used internally by Amundi Asset Management, available to you.
  • Broker-neutral by design: every trade is routed to the best venue for your outcome, not ours.
  • Built for buy-side workflows: OMS, compliance and reporting built around how asset managers operate.
02 Tier 1 liquidity

Industrial-grade execution - the pricing and market access of Europe's largest asset manager, working for your portfolios.

  • Scale that supports better outcomes: 250+ counterparties and €9tn traded annually, helping deliver tighter spreads and consistent pricing.
  • Global coverage, follow-the-sun: EMEA, Asia and Americas, across asset class with near T+1 readiness.
  • End-to-end, not point solution: order intake, routing, execution, post-trade, TCA and reporting, all in one governed model.
03 AI that makes every trade smarter

Embedded across the full execution lifecycle.

  • Smarter routing: AI selects the optimal venue and broker in real time to help reduce market impact and improve pricing.
  • Automatic best-execution evidence: continuous benchmark monitoring generates audit-ready TCA without manual intervention.
  • Scale that learns: 4.4m annual trades feed continuous improvement across routing, pricing and execution quality.
