La Française model
For more than 40 years, creating and offering investment solutions for third parties has been the mission of La Française.
A multi-affiliate business model and multiple core competencies
Environmental and societal challenges are opportunities to reconsider the future. Identifying drivers of change and understanding how they will fashion global growth and ultimately influence long-term financial performance is at the heart of La Française’s mission. The group’s forward-looking investment strategy is built upon this conviction.
Organized around two business lines, « financial » and « real estate assets », La Française has developed a multi-boutique model to serve institutional and retail clients in France and abroad.
