Vatel Capital

About The Fund

Vatel Capital is an independent French investment firm that has been operational since 2008 and specializes in supporting growth-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), whether they are private or public companies. Their areas of focus include energy, healthcare, and broader sectors as stated on their website. They prefer acquiring minority stakes in these companies and actively participate in their governance by taking a seat on the board. As a portfolio management company that is approved by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), they deliver various investment vehicles designed to cater to different investor profiles and objectives. For instance, they offer Fonds Communs de Placement dans l'Innovation (FCPI) and Fonds d'Investissement de Proximité (FIP) for tax-efficient investing in SMEs, allowing investors to reduce their income tax by up to 30%, with capital at risk and money blocked for up to nine years. Vatel Capital also provides investment opportunities in tangible assets, such as forestry through their Groupement Forestier d'Investissement (GFI) or their forestry real estate company, which can yield income tax reductions of 18%, but again, with capital at risk and money blocked for a minimum of six years. Additionally, they present prospects for long-term agricultural land investments through the SC Terres Invest, compatible with life insurance and pension savings plans (PER). For those looking to grow their wealth, Vatel Capital offers performance assets where investors can choose a return-focused financial instrument with a recommended investment duration. Their commitment to guiding the growth of French SMEs is also evidenced by their liquidative values services, where they offer transparency on the performance of managed FCPI and FIP funds. Vatel Capital emphasizes the entrepreneur's spirit in their investment strategy, signifying their dedication to fostering innovation and growth in the sectors where they place their funds.
