LightOn and the asset manager LBP AM announced a partnership to deploy LightOn's Paradigm generative AI platform with all of LBP AM's teams, according to a release that LightOn published through France's market regulator, the AMF, on Apr 17, 2025. The AMF files the release as inside information. LBP AM's teams would be able to query the group's large database, including the socially responsible investment data hub behind its ESG expertise, while prompts and sensitive information stay confidential, the release said. The companies also said they were entering a strategic partnership to co-develop specialised agents that would extend LBP AM's analysis of both financial and non-financial factors, for listed and private assets.1^,2^,3^,4^,5

The release describes Paradigm as a generative AI platform developed by LightOn. It says Paradigm combines AI with multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which it says runs complex cross-searches across files of every format, textual and visual. LightOn said the platform could be deployed inside a company's own infrastructure, whether cloud, on-premises or air-gapped, which it presented as full control over the confidentiality of the data.6^,7^,8^,9

Pierre Ernst, a member of LBP AM's management board, said the partnership aimed to improve operational efficiency, handle client relationships better and offer innovative investment solutions in a secure setting. Igor Carron, LightOn's chairman and chief executive, said LBP AM's teams would get a sovereign information-search tool that keeps strategic data confidential and secure. He added that the technology respected European regulation.10^,11^,12^,13^,14

LightOn describes itself as founded in 2016 in Paris and as the first European generative AI company listed on Euronext Growth. The release describes LBP AM as owned 75% by La Banque Postale and 25% by Aegon Asset Management, with consolidated assets managed or distributed of more than €73 billion at 31.12.2024, as the release writes the date.15^,16^,17
