2023: structuring and acceleration

The acquisition of a minority stake by Armen, the European GP Stakes pioneer headed by Dominique Gaillard and Laurent Bénard, in the capital of independent management company Private Corner has accelerated the company's development. The structuring of its Board of Directors, on which Jacques Ittah also sits, has helped to consolidate Private Corner's image with leading asset management companies, while strengthening its positioning with wealth and asset management advisors, private banks and family offices. Six months on, the team has doubled its workforce, and enhanced both its fund offering and the functionalities of its digital Private Equity platform.

The end of the year also marked a major milestone for Private Corner, with fundraising exceeding 100 million euros on the investment fund exposed to Committed Advisors' secondary strategy at more than double the target size envisaged, a record for the young company created 3 years ago. This is a real achievement, particularly in a nascent market and against a backdrop of economic slowdown.

“We're proud of what we've achieved in such a short space of time, and the past three years have laid the foundations for what we're building for the future. We have demonstrated that the institutional approach to investing in unlisted assets is also successful for the private clients of wealth and asset management professionals. Our model has been designed to preserve the performance drivers of investors, and we believe in the long term as an essential element in creating value. Private Corner's future is shaped by an ambitious vision and solid confidence in both our business model and our team,” says Estelle Dolla, President and co-founder of Private Corner.

Aiming for one billion funds raised by 2024

Private Corner's ambitions for next year are clear: to reach one billion euros in fundraising by the end of 2024. “Our strategy is clear: to continue to innovate, to grow and to prove that our model can transform the landscape of investment in unlisted assets for wealthy clients. We are committed to maintaining a dynamic of innovation and excellence,” says Thomas Renaudin, CEO and co-founder of Private Corner.

Team evolution :

From December onwards, all Private Corner* employees will be shareholders. This is a reaffirmation of the management's commitment to value sharing, and a highly symbolic gesture on the part of the employees, who are thus confirming their alignment with the strategy and their desire to be part of it for the long term.

In terms of recruitment, two women will be joining the team in Q1 2024: an RCCI and a Legal Manager.

Expansion of unlisted asset investment offering:

Private Corner believes that real assets have their place in an unlisted allocation in the current context of rising rates and inflation: they are tangible, resilient assets. Private Corner has just launched a new investment fund, PC Feeder Antin Infrastructure V, in partnership with Antin Infrastructure Partners, a leading private equity firm specializing in mainly Brownfield infrastructure investments. The team is also identifying attractive investment opportunities in private debt and has plans to launch a new offering in early 2024.

Expansion plans in Europe:

Private Corner's ambition is to consolidate its leading position in private equity in France. However, its interactions with pan-European and international management companies on the one hand, and established European distribution networks on the other, naturally lead Private Corner to look beyond France.

Since May 2023, Private Corner has been a signatory to France Invest's Value Sharing Charter. Further information on the Charter: France Invest._ Press contacts
