ESTELLE DOLLA AGEFI PATRIMONIA

In her interview with L’AGEFI, Estelle Dolla, President of Private Corner, discussed the recent democratization of private assets, the firm’s innovations, and the launch of a GP Stakes strategy.

Where does the democratization of private markets currently stand?

Private markets have now become a fully-fledged asset class within wealth allocations. Advisors are seeking a deeper understanding of this asset class in order to integrate it in a structured way into their portfolios. In this context, we have formalized a core–satellite approach that reflects the growing maturity of the market. The aim is to enable professionals to build comprehensive, coherent, and sustainable private-market allocations.

  • This new framework is underpinned by several major dynamics:

  • A rapidly expanding universe of opportunities

  • An increasing number of available structures

  • A more demanding investor base

  • A greater need for education

It is precisely to respond to these developments that we launched an ACADEMY a space dedicated exclusively to our partners to help them strengthen their expertise across the entire private markets value chain.

How is the core–satellite model structured?

Our core–satellite approach is designed to support professionals in constructing private-market allocations that are both well-structured and sustainable. Within the core portfolio, two major new strategies have been introduced:

A private debt coupon strategy, aimed at generating regular cash flows while providing downside protection and strong visibility.

A GP Stakes strategy, designed to capture recurring income by taking stakes in leading alternative asset management firms.

On the satellite side, we have launched a thematic fund focused on semiconductors in partnership with Ardian, targeting sector-specific buyout transactions in a market critical to the modern economy.

What other developments are underway at Private Corner?

Alongside the rollout of the Académie du non coté, we have enhanced our digital platform with a highly requested feature from our partners: consolidated cash-flow simulation. This tool enables the visualization of capital calls and distributions across a multi-fund portfolio, offering improved anticipation of a client’s liquidity curve.

Why launch a GP Stakes strategy now?

The GP Stakes strategy is fully aligned with our core-portfolio philosophy, at a time when investors are prioritizing resilience, visibility, and structural diversification. Developed in partnership with Blue Owl, a leading global player, this initiative reflects Private Corner’s commitment to offering its partners access to institutional-grade strategies in support of durable, high-performing, and well-managed wealth allocations.

  • GP Stakes makes it possible to:

  • Invest in the capital of leading alternative asset management firms

  • Capture recurring revenues (management fees, carried interest, GP commitments)

  • Benefit from global and diversified exposure, with an earlier yield profile
