Wendel (ISIN FR0000121204) appointed Bénédicte Rabier as chief product officer of Wendel Investment Managers on October 1, 2026, while a review by Simply Wall St dated October 17 kept fair value at EUR 106.67. The appointment adds a management angle to Wendel's effort to expand fee-based asset management.

Asset management takes center stage

Rabier is responsible for product development and marketing at Wendel Investment Managers, according to Simply Wall St. The review described the role as part of the push to build third-party assets under management and recurring fee income. Wendel reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 3.94 billion, up 3.20 percent from the first half of 2025, while net income reached EUR 61.50 million.

What does EUR 106.67 mean?

At EUR 82.25 on October 16, 2026, the last Euronext Paris price stood 22.89 percent below that fair-value estimate. The comparison is material because Wendel's investment case combines private-equity holdings with an asset-management platform whose fee income is intended to make results more recurring.
