Credit Agricole SA said Monday that it has signed a memorandum
of understanding with Royal Bank of Canada over a potential
acquisition by its asset servicing arm CACEIS of the Canadian
bank's investor-services operations in Europe.
Credit Agricole said the transaction, which is expected to
happen by the third quarter of 2023, would boost CACEIS's assets
with about 4.8 trillion euros ($4.66 trillion) in assets under
custody and EUR3.5 trillion in assets under administration.
The acquisition would materialize a return on investment of more
than 10% over three years thanks to synergies, according to Credit
Agricole. The bank also said the transaction would negatively
affect its common equity Tier 1 and group CET1 ratio by less than
10 basis points.
