Friday, August 6, 2010 Natixis Boss Talks about Pioneer Natixis CEO Laurent Mignon is open to the possibility of doing a deal with Pioneer Investments [see profile]. [See MFWire's living timeline of the Pioneer auction for more details and history.] "(Pioneer) is indeed an actor that could respond to the different strategic objectives of Natixis Asset Management, but a deal ... would only make sense in the form of a long-lasting sales partnership," Mignon was quoted by Reuters as saying in an earnings call on Thursday. A Dow Jones article carried this quote from Mignon: "When we look at Pioneer, which is present in Italy, Germany and Eastern Europe, it's effectively a player that could respond to our strategic objectives." Earlier this week, a French newspaper reported that Natixis was among the firms that are looking at Pioneer. The other two named in the report are BNP Paribas and Amundi.
