Private Equity
Private Equity
Our long operational experience in dealing with Private Equity issues allows us to understand the risks areas of your business and to assist in covering them in the most optimal way.
The nature of your missions depends on the stage at which you decide to intervene (seed fundings/early venture capital, growth equity, buyouts). The business mainly consists in investing in non-listed companies using “equity investments”.
Investment companies may have their professional civil liability engaged if their own investors (in the case of management on behalf of third parties) or any third party consider that they have suffered damages deriving from their professional misconduct within the frame of the performance of their mission(s).
Depending on the investment type, you may potentially be required to play an operational and governance role by holding a corporate office in the companies you invest in. This will engage your liability as a manager sitting either in a personal capacity or as a representative of the management company holding the corporate office.
To support our “Private Equity” clients in managing and covering theirs risks, and after an in-depth analysis of your existing policies, if needed, we can implement the following coverages:

Listed assets management
Listed assets management
You are a specialist of collective and/or individual management and your investments mainly consist in listed assets.
Private or institutional investors delegate the financial management of their capital to you, and as a fund manager, both an obligation of means and a duty of information of these investors are imposed.
Although apparently paradoxical, the risks to which investment companies and their managers are exposed have increased as organisations have become more professional and management procedures have been improved. Fund managers are being held to a higher level of accountability, both in regard to their contractual relationships with their clients and to the issuance of new/stricter regulations governing their activities.
