We finance the real economy through private debt, growth capital and international trade finance.
Our financial activity is a natural extension of our work as an investor: it lets us act in situations where taking equity is not the right instrument, and finance our own assets on better terms.
In Europe, we deploy capital as private debt to mid-sized companies and acquire private equity fund interests on the secondary market.
In Africa and the Middle East, we focus on SME finance, growth capital and trade finance — three segments where the financing gap remains considerable and where our knowledge of counterparties is a decisive advantage.
