18 DEC, 2025
By Joanna Piwko from RankiaPro Europe
Astoria Finance continues its national development strategy with two strategic operations in Southern France: the acquisition of the client portfolio of EC Conseils in Pau and a rapprochement with Framatong, a long-established wealth management firm based in Marseille.
These transactions strengthen the Group’s presence in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the PACA region, while reinforcing its expertise in supporting private clients, business leaders, and independent professionals.
I am pleased to announce the acquisition of the EC Conseils portfolio (Pau) and the rapprochement with Framatong (Marseille). These operations fully align with our development strategy and are based on strong convictions: preserving client relationships, ensuring team continuity, and strengthening the quality of advice. The teams involved are joining Astoria Finance and will continue supporting their clients
