Natixis exits majority ownership position
Solomon Partners returns to management control
Legal affiliation officially terminated
Strategic realignment for the French financial group

Natixis SA has completed the sale of its majority stake in Solomon Partners, effectively ending its affiliation with the New York-based financial advisory firm. The move marks a strategic shift for the French institution, allowing the boutique firm to return to a management-led ownership structure. In a joint communication, representatives for both Solomon and Natixis confirmed that the transaction has been consummated. As a result of the agreement, Solomon Partners is no longer legally considered an affiliate of Natixis. While the specific financial terms of the divestiture were not disclosed, the transition grants the boutique firm greater autonomy in its strategic decision-making and client engagements within the competitive US advisory landscape. This restructuring allows Natixis to streamline its holdings while enabling Solomon Partners to operate independently under the guidance of its existing leadership team.
