What is Private Equity?

Private Equity funds invest in unlisted companies to accelerate their development and unlock their potential through ambitious value creation plans.
The companies we support generally have one of the following profiles:
Unlisted growth companies,
"Orphan" companies
or underdeveloped divisions of large companies
Listed companies whose share prices are undervalued
or whose growth potential could be better exploited by private shareholders.
The Private Equity model can be applied to a wide range of companies, whatever their typology, size, sector or geographical area.

There are many cases where Private Equity brings real added value, particularly when companies need to change their size, strategy or organization.

What all companies involved in these operations have in common is the existence of untapped potential, which Private Equity seeks to unlock through specific, clearly identified value-creation plans, such as external growth, internationalization, digital transformation, etc.

The companies acquired are supported for an average of 5 to 7 years, then sold with a crystallized capital gain when they are delisted from the stock market or resold to industrial groups or other funds.

How it works

What is a Private Equity fund?

In private equity, capital is invested via limited-life funds, designed to pool the amounts raised from investors and gradually deploy them in unlisted companies.

These funds are generally illiquid and require significant financial commitments, making them accessible mainly to well-informed investors.

They are managed by teams of professionals, brought together within management companies, who have an exclusive mandate to optimize investment performance.

A fund generally diversifies its portfolio by investing in 15 to 70 independent companies, in order to limit risk and maximize returns over time.

Private Equity management fees

Management fees cover all functions necessary for the proper management of the fund throughout its lifetime.

They are calculated on bases or with rates that vary according to the period:
During the fund's investment period: the calculation base corresponds to the amount subscribed by investors, to which a rate ranging from 1.5% for funds over €3 billion to 2% for funds under €1 billion is applied,
For the post-investment period up to the fund's termination, there are two possibilities:

Option 1: the calculation base remains the amount subscribed by investors to which a degressive rate is applied,

Option 2: the calculation is made on the capital invested (net of divestments) with a rate identical to or lower than that applied during the fund's investment period.
In addition to these management fees:
Specific fund operating costs (mainly set-up costs, legal and administrative fees, costs of unsuccessful transactions),
Transaction and monitoring fees for portfolio companies,
Carried interest is defined as the profit-sharing of the Private Equity fund management company's teams, based on its performance.

Funds of funds incur costs on two levels:
Direct costs, which are much lower than those of direct investment funds. These include management fees and operating costs such as management fees, statutory auditors' fees, legal fees, custodian fees, etc.,
Indirect costs, which are those incurred by the funds in which the fund of funds has invested.
