Presentation
The power of collective performance
As a specialist in multiple areas of investment, with around 60 employees, each activity is assigned its own dedicated team with the necessary levels of expertise to guarantee suitable analysis and accountability in the management of their area of expertise.
Information is circulated and experience and best practices are shared to ensure personal development and collective efficiency.
LBO France’s teams all share the same spirit of entrepreneurship, openness, collectivity and agility with a view to best serving their projects, companies, the managers and their teams.

Operational Value Creation
As a willing but demanding partner of companies’ management teams, and as an active manager in the real estate projects developed by it, LBO France draws on a range of value creation drivers:
- A local foothold. Local teams which ensure in-depth knowledge of the French market
- Expertise. Senior staff with cross-disciplinary skills, and sector and operational expertise
- Collective intelligence. Cross-fertilisation of the teams to ensure effective sharing of best practices
- Involved at operational level. Individual and collective dedication by the teams on the ground, alongside companies’ management teams, to provide technical and financial support
- Independence. An independent and autonomous investor working to help accomplish entrepreneurial projects
- Alignment of interests. Shared objectives of LBO France, the companies and the investors
- Social responsibility. Value creation is only meaningful if it is for a collective purpose, with clear objectives, a transparent approach, and respect for women, men and the environment
Environmental, Social and Corporate-Governance Criteria

of portfolio companies (Buy-out, Venture) supported
75% on a regular basis
25% on an annual-basis
In a world coming to grips with new objectives, the value creation must take into account the future of its people and the environment. Respect on both counts is a duty. Shareholder investors have a particular responsibility because they more than others have the power and means to exert influence and take action.
Environmental, social and governance criteria frame and direct LBO France’s investment decisions and development plans and underpin its collective projects.
Italian office
Italy is the second largest manufacturing economy in Europe and the fifth in the world, comprising nearly 200,000 SMEs among which 50% are family-owned companies.
This high-potential market is the reason of setting up an investment team of 3 people dedicated to the Small Cap strategy in Milan.
The team favours growing companies with recognised know-how and strong international development, particularly in France.
It benefits from all the support of LBO France and in particular the Operational team.
Investor Relations
Over the years, LBO France has developed relationships with several hundred French and foreign investors, institutions, Family Offices and entrepreneurs.
The Investor Relations team is the first point of contact for investors within LBO France and their privileged interlocutor. It provides all investors, regardless of their profile and size, with a response tailored to their needs in a long-term partnership approach.
Beyond the performance of its investments, LBO France strives to offer a quality service that guarantees the loyalty of its investors.
The Investor Relations team is therefore very concerned about the accuracy of the information provided, its clarity and the respect of deadlines.
The trust shown by investors is the true value of a management company and transparency and listening are the key to this.
