The disposal follows the purchase of parent company BHF Kleinwort Benson Group by Oddo.

Kleinwort Benson Investors managed 7.6 billion euros (5.9 billion pounds) of assets as of March 31. It had net revenue of 31 million euros and net income of 9 million in 2015.

Amundi said in a statement on Monday that the deal, expected to close in the third quarter, would immediately boost its earnings per share.
