Natixis IM names global sustainable investing head
Nathalie Wallace to drive firm’s push for 50% of AUM sustainably invested by 2024
The Asset 3 Aug 2021

Natixis Investment Managers (Natixis IM) has appointed Nathalie Wallace as its global head of sustainable investing, with responsibility for driving the firm’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments across its distribution network, affiliate managers and through its participation in industry-wide initiatives.

ESG is at the heart of the strategic ambitions of Natixis IM, which targets to have €600 billion (US$712.48 billion) of its assets under management (AUM), equivalent to around 50% of its total €1.15 billion AUM, invested in the sustainable or impact investing category by 2024.

Wallace, who was head of ESG strategy and development at Mirova US, will play an instrumental part in strengthening the firm’s ESG capabilities and developing its range of innovative sustainable solutions, as part of Natixis IM’s drive to become the most client-centric asset manager globally. She will report to Joseph Pinto, head of distribution for Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Asia-Pacific, Natixis IM, and will be based in Boston. 

She will lead the company’s growth in all aspects of sustainable investment, working closely with the firm’s affiliate managers to ensure that all affiliates become signatories to the UNPRI by 2024, and will also focus on supporting clients on their ESG journey from early stage ESG integration to allocation to impact investing. 

Tim Ryan, CEO of Natixis IM, says: “Having most recently worked at Mirova, our dedicated sustainable investment affiliate, Wallace, with her deep knowledge and long industry experience, is ideally placed to lead our strategy to support clients in their journey to align their ESG beliefs with their investment goals, and to help us further our contribution to the transition to a more sustainable global economy.”
