How to access private equity funds easily? Archinvest's solutions.
Archinvest is a private equity investment platform, providing wealth management professionals with access to the French and international private equity markets.
In this latest Lettre Perspectives, Pierre Olivier Desplanches, co-founder and Managing Director, and Alexandre Ortis, Director of Development, present their approach and the solutions offered by Archinvest.
What is Archinvest's DNA and how do you distinguish yourself from other private equity players?
Archinvest is a management company with 15 employees, including 3 former investors from leading international private equity funds, with over 60 years' experience.
Archinvest's DNA is based on the independent selection of the best-performing private equity funds based on the most relevant investment strategies in the macro-economic context, in order to best serve the interests of its clients.
To replicate the best practices of LBO funds, our team invests personally in all the funds we propose. This alignment of interests testifies to our strong conviction in this asset class and its strategies.
How do you build your private equity solutions?
Our investment team makes a selection based on precise criteria: large funds established over several generations, historical performance in the 1st quartile, investment strategy (geography, sectors), quality of underlying companies (size, profitability, recurring sales, significant cash generation, market leader with an international presence, etc.), low volatility of performance, stability of the management team, alignment of interests and ESG commitment.
What offers are you currently marketing?
We've designed a proprietary digital platform that optimizes the management of your customers' investments while guaranteeing total transparency.
From as little as €100,000 (or €50,000 for investors already involved in private equity), we make funds usually reserved for institutional investors accessible, requiring an entry ticket of over €5 million.
