Newedge was formed in 2008 through the merger of Fimat (a Société Générale subsidiary) and Calyon Financial (a Crédit Agricole CIB subsidiary), creating a global leader in the brokerage industry. The company offered a comprehensive suite of services including execution, clearing, prime brokerage, and asset financing across a wide range of asset classes like listed derivatives, equities, fixed income, and foreign exchange. Its primary clients were institutional investors, hedge funds, and large corporations. In May 2014, Société Générale acquired full ownership of Newedge and subsequently integrated its operations into its Corporate & Investment Banking division, with its services now offered under the "Société Générale Prime Services" brand.
