ODDO BHF, make every day an opportunity
When Camille Gautier became a stockbroker in Marseille back in 1849, he started an entrepreneurial adventure that would continuously reaffirm itself over the generations. Negotiating on behalf of investors, he laid the foundations for what our Group would become: an independent player in finance, characterized by its drive and undivided attention to its clients, day after day.
We are fortunate to have more than 60,000 clients, institutional investors, companies, distribution partners and large private clients whose financial assets we advise, manage, and invest for a total amount of 128 billion euros. Our mission is to grow these assets through our three businesses: private banking, asset management, corporate and investment banking.
Family to family, entrepreneur to entrepreneur, investor to investor, we speak the same language. Deeply rooted in Europe, we aim to promote our expertise throughout the world. We develop tailor-made financial products and services, drawing on the depth of our know-how and the quality of our network. Driven by the same entrepreneurial spirit, our 2,700 employees provide our clients with unwavering attention and commitment, building with them a close, trusting, and long-lasting relationship.
We are committed to attracting and retaining talent by offering them the opportunity to become shareholders of the Group, alongside the founding family. Together, they own 90% of the share capital. We aim to align our interests and values with those of our clients and partners, as we design for them responsible solutions in line with their aspirations and those of our societies.
Our promise: to promote, together, a world where every day is an opportunity.

Equities remain unmatched over the long term
Three British economists—Paul Marsh and Mike Staunton of the London Business School, and Elroy Dimson from Cambridge University—have embarked on a meticulous endeavour: they have traced 35 stock markets around the world as far back as possible to test a core theoretical question of investment. Are equities truly superior to all other asset classes over the long term?
The moment of truth for public debt
Economic crises leave a legacy of high public debt. Expansion phases should be used as an opportunity by governments to reduce their debt and rebuild some headroom in their public finances. This is easier said than done. Let’s look at what happened after the last two major crises.
The end of the American dream?
We must confess that we have a strategic "bias" in favor of the US market. The past 15 years proves us quite right. Since the end of the 2007-2008 Financial Crisis, Europe has outperformed for only 27 months, or just over 2 years. This structural outperformance of the US vs. Europe is mainly explained by a more robust EPS dynamic in the US.
