Private Corner in brief

The independent management company Private Corner offers an innovative approach to private equity, providing investors with simple, diversified access to institutional private equity. This approach is above all geared towards improving the client experience through a fully digital and secure private equity platform, from A to Z.

Thanks to Private Corner and its digital platform, private investors now have access to the private equity strategies of private banking and wealth management professionals, whose investment funds are usually restricted to so-called ‘institutional’ investors, from investments of €100,000 and upwards.

The Paris-based independent management company pools individual demand through so-called ‘feeder’ funds to invest in so-called ‘parent’ investment funds. As a result, Private Corner has positioned itself as the ‘missing link’ between institutional private equity and asset management, enabling non-institutional private investors to invest in rigorously selected funds. This gives them the opportunity to diversify their assets in private markets and play an active part in the development of the real French economy.

At the same time, Private Corner offers private managers of targeted investment funds visibility to a new community of investors, enabling them to complete their fundraising while avoiding the need to change their operating model.

What about private equity investment?

Private equity is a form of financial investment in unlisted companies, often in a development, growth or restructuring phase. It generally involves the partial or total purchase of a stake in a company by specialist investors, such as private equity firms, venture capital funds or high net worth private investors.

The objective of private equity is to provide financial, strategic and operational support to the target company in order to stimulate its growth, improve its performance and, eventually, sell it at a capital gain over a period of time, usually a few years, when the value of the company has increased.

Private equity can take a variety of forms, such as leveraged buyouts (LBOs), venture capital (investment in high-potential start-ups), growth financing, development capital, etc. It is often used to support companies with significant financing needs or growth opportunities, but which are not yet ready to be listed on the stock market.
