What is the purpose of Private Corner and how did this idea come about?

How to democratize access to unlisted asset investment companies? Private Corner, an independent management company based in Paris, was born from the desire to open the Private Equity asset class more widely to private investors. In addition to pioneering initiatives in the field, Private Corner wishes to facilitate access to investment opportunities in this asset class.

The offer of investment funds in unlisted assets is relatively limited for private investors. We have the ambition to make private equity funds accessible which at the moment do not welcome any or few private investors, often due to entry tickets higher than the capital available for this category of investors.

Our name sums up this purpose, aggregating the demand of private investors to allow them access to the unlisted investment market.

What is Private Equity and what type of investor can apply for it?

Private Equity consists of investing in the capital of companies not listed on the stock exchange. Its objective is to support the development of these companies for 5 to 10 years with a view to their sale or IPO.

An exposure of one's assets in Private Equity is built with a view to portfolio diversification and a long-term investment logic. As a private investor, it is essential to contact an investment advisor to receive support in this diversification. Investment funds in unlisted assets are aimed at people who have already built up precautionary savings, who have initiated a diversification of their assets and who have the strong desire to increase this diversification by positioning themselves in a class of assets anchored in the real economy and requiring a long-term investment period.

This allows individuals to become investors, players in financing, job creation and the development of unlisted companies in a concrete way.

However, it is important to keep in mind that investing in unlisted assets carries certain risks, including loss of capital and liquidity.
