Wealth management: a priority for Ardian

Wealth management is one of Ardian's major strategies because it targets a new category of investors with specific expectations. For 29 years, Ardian has been developing teams, partnerships and products that perfectly meet these needs. Partners like Private Corner play a key role in this strategy by offering clients simplified access to our investment solutions. While there is often talk of democratising private equity, at Ardian, we believe that it is above all a question of democratising the distribution of these assets. Thanks to digital platforms such as Private Corner, distributors can offer private equity and private assets in a simple and efficient way.

A shock in the supply of unlisted investment

According to Fabienne Konik, there has been a real upheaval in supply. According to a recent EY study, which surveyed more than 400 investors and fund managers, 32% of them prioritise distribution to wealthy and ultra-wealthy clients, as well as family offices. Private equity is emerging as the flagship product, accounting for 49% of allocations. This phenomenon can be explained by several factors. Firstly, the emergence of innovative private equity platforms such as Private Corner. Secondly, increased education for end investors. Thirdly, a regulatory framework favourable to this distribution to the private management segment. Finally, the insurance environment in France also plays an important role.

Multiple challenges to be met

Although progress has been made in terms of education, it is necessary to continue educating end customers as well as bank advisors. Transparency, particularly with regard to fees, is also crucial, especially for a new generation of entrepreneurs who are sensitive to the alignment of interests and the impact of their investments.

Private Corner: a comprehensive and diversified offering

The range of Private Corner solutions covers all private assets, from private equity to infrastructure (https://private-corner.eu/en/newsroom/guides/infrastructure-investment-how-to-invest) and private debt. It offers core portfolio solutions, such as secondary or private debt, as well as thematic offerings focused on healthcare or decarbonisation, particularly with Tikehau. We are committed to democratising unlisted assets for wealth management clients. That is why we insist on transparency, security and simplicity thanks to a 100% digital platform that allows for continuous monitoring of investments. This approach aims to offer private clients an institutional experience, with high-quality reporting and service, to integrate this asset class into their wealth in a sustainable manner. We remain available to support our partners in building portfolios tailored to their clients.
