4 PARTNERSHIPS

Fondation for Alzheimer s Research

The ODDO BHF Group has supported the Foundation for Alzheimer s Research since its creation around 14 years ago. Each year, the Group helps to organise a gala concert, with proceeds going towards Alzheimer s research.

Médecins Sans Frontières (France)

ODDO BHF has been a partner of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) since 2014. Despite working in different fields, ODDO BHF and MSF share the same values: independence, responsiveness and long-term commitment. This partnership allows ODDO BHF to respond rapidly to environmental and humanitarian disasters with an internal emergency appeal system, with donations received matched by the endowment fund.

Cours Ozanam

At the end of 2017, the ODDO BHF Acting for Tomorrow endowment fund decided to support the Cours Ozanam education project by helping to finance the creation and operation of Collège Frédéric Ozanam over three years from 2017 to 2019. This school, supported by the Espérance Banlieues foundation, aims to improve the quality of education in the poorer districts in the north of Marseilles.

Professorship with HEC Paris: ODDO BHF Financial Analysis

In 2018, the ODDO BHF Group and HEC Paris, a French business school, together created a professorship for corporate financial analysis. The underlying methodologies are one the Group s specialist areas.

There will be occasional joint activities alongside this partnership, such as support for the Jeunesses & Résistances project, a Franco-German initiative aimed at young people in both countries.

The endowment fund s approach is part of ODDO BHF s DNA: As a financial market expert, the Group lives and breathes the news cycles that affect market movements, but also invests in long-term research.
