Amundi ETF and Indexing continued to show strong growth in 2014. \u201cWe have collected US$10 billion[[Source : Amundi as of 31\/12\/2014]] of new assets and reached US$55 billion[[Source : Amundi as of 31\/12\/2014]]\nof assets under passive management in 2014.

Growth exceeding the European ETF market, supported by innovative product launches and consistently competitive pricing<\/h2>\n

Within a very supportive environment for ETFs, in 2014 Amundi grew faster than the market for the fifth consecutive year. With net inflows of US$3.1 billion, Amundi ETF\u2019s assets under management rose by 33% to more than US$18 billion, compared to an increase in the market of 25%[[Source: Amundi ETF\/Bloomberg as of 31\/12\/2014]].<\/p>\n

On equity ETFs, Amundi expanded its Japanese range with the cheapest available exposure to the JPXNikkei 400[[Source: Amundi ETF\/Bloomberg as of 31\/12\/2014]], pioneered the first ETF in the global luxury sector, and launched an innovative multi-smart beta ETF. In bonds, Amundi launched the first European ETF exposed to floating rate notes, and
\ncompleted its offering on government bonds. Additionally, in April 2014 Amundi halved the cost of its emerging equity ETFs, thus offering the cheapest[[ Global and Regional Emerging Markets Equity ETFs. Source: Amundi \/Bloomberg as at 31.12.2014. Comparison with equivalent

\u201cOur primary challenge for 2015 is to consolidate Amundi\u2019s position as the fifth ETF provider in Europe[[Source: Amundi ETF\/Bloomberg as of 31\/12\/2014]], and to build on the three pillars that have made it so successful: competitive prices, quality and innovation. The second goal for 2015 is to expand the group\u2019s business in Asia, starting with Hong Kong\u201d<\/em>, adds Val\u00e9rie Baudson.<\/p>\n

Strategic partnerships in the fields of smart beta and low carbon<\/h2>\n

Inflows in index management amounted to close to US$7 billion[[Source : Amundi as of 31\/12\/2014]]. Amundi\u2019s two main strengths remain its
\nexceptional pricing power and its ability to create customised solutions for French and international

In 2014 two strategic partnerships were established with index providers, the first of which with the
\nEDHEC Risk Institute Scientific Beta to strengthen Amundi\u2019s capabilities in index smart beta management.
\nThe second, with MSCI, led to the deployment of index solutions centred on low carbon intensity. These
