In 1967, Bernard Oddo set up on his own, buying a Parisian firm whilst at the same time resuming his studies at 47 years of age.
In 1995, Pascal Oddo left the group in order to pursue a different career in the financial domain. Acquiring his stake in the company, Philippe Oddo decided to put in place a management board: which still operates today.
In the years following the reform of the legal status of stock broker in France, the company experienced a period of rapid yet steady growth, both internally and externally.
In 1971, the family firm had around 40 employees...but less than 30 years later, its headcount was 12 times higher, reaching 480 by the year 2000! Thanks to the ODDO BHF Group's ethos of employee share ownership, 30% of the capital is held by staff. This empowers its employees, giving them greater responsibility in decision-making.
Throughout the first decade of the new millennium, ODDO BHF’s management was very attentive to external growth opportunities.
On 5 January 2015, the group acquired Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG, a Frankfurt-based company, which subsequently became Oddo Seydler Bank A.G.

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.
