Our governance

The holding company CA Indosuez is a wholly owned subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank (Crédit Agricole CIB), which in turn is owned by Crédit Agricole S.A. CA Indosuez coordinates all of Crédit Agricole Group’s international Wealth Management branches.

Their clients benefit from our shareholder’s financial strength and the wide range of expertise available from its specialised business lines.

We are part of the Large Clients division, which covers Crédit Agricole CIB’s corporate and investment banking activities and asset servicing for institutional and corporate clients provided by CACEIS, giving our entrepreneur clients priority access to highly specialised expertise.

Our federal structure and our sense of international cohesion foster a consistent approach shared by all our offices.
