This is reflected in an organisation with four business lines:
- BNP PAM Global Funds is in charge of promoting and selling mutual funds

- BNP PAM Risk Managed Strategies has alternative, structured and index-based management platforms and aims, through partnerships, to secure a good position in fast-growing markets, particularly in alternative management services
- BNP PAM New Markets sets up and oversees local sales and investment teams on promising emerging markets, preparing today to manage tomorrow's growth.
This new organisation will enable BNP PAM to achieve its growth objectives. These objectives are particularly ambitious in terms of fund distribution for which external distribution and multiple-management fund solutions are the main drivers of growth.
