The 11th edition of the CIC Forum by Market Solutions took place once again at the Pavillon Cambon Capucines in Paris on 19 and 20 November, and in virtual format on 21 November 2024.
A genuine forum for exchange, this flagship annual event brought together over 500 investors and 130 companies from France and the rest of Europe, many of them small & mid caps and SBF 120 and CAC 40 issuers.
Nearly 2,500 interactions took place, during which our investor clients were able to validate their existing equity or bond portfolio positions, or discover new ideas. Our corporate clients also had the occasion to see for themselves how we provide support, notably through fruitful discussions with our staff and all the Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale teams working on the corporate market.
The event was also an opportunity to strengthen our ties with our partners in the ESN network (Banca Akros - Banco BPM group, GVC Gaesco, Caixa Banco de Investimento) and our German partner MM Warburg, which enabled some thirty European companies and a hundred international investors to take part in face-to-face or virtual sessions.
The CIC Forum by Market Solutions also provided food for thought on topical issues such as the French policy mix for the coming months, the geopolitical challenges of the new global order following Donald Trump's election, and the consequences for financial markets of the transition to T+1 settlement.
Among the privileged moments, Marie-Pierre de Bailliencourt, Managing Director of Institut Montaigne, spoke on the state of French public finances, and Thomas Gomart, Director of IFRI and specialist in international relations history, shed light on current geopolitical issues during plenary sessions, which drew a large audience.
We would like to thank all the participants who helped make this year's event such a success! We look forward to seeing you next year!
