Investment Strategy
As an active minority investor we have a seat at the Board of Directors and own less than 50% of the companies which we invest in. We can also take a majority stake in consortium with other investors. We focus on growth capital and buyout transactions. We have access to the best European and French private companies – often entrepreneurial and family-owned businesses, whose owners want to maintain control over them.
We provide high value to the companies that we invest in thanks to:
Our current offering
The SMEs that we support are enjoying rapid growth and are benefiting from one of the five following long-term megatrends: technology, demographics, globalisation, environment and societal changes. These function as long-term transformative powers and major growth levers for companies, creating sound investment opportunities.
Amundi Private Equity Funds currently has a private equity capital offer on megatrends through our Megatrends Programme and a flexible capital offer with our Fleurons programme.
