Investment strategy

Generis Capital's trademark is to "do private equity differently". Born during the 2008 financial crisis, the firm aims to create a breakthrough in both financial techniques and methods and in its philosophy of action.

Generis Capital is an investment manager, authorised and regulated by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), whose business is to provide financing to SMEs in the form of equity or debt. Generis Capital offers innovative and pioneering financing techniques to meet the financing needs of SMEs. Thanks to these techniques and to a diversified and balanced asset allocation (debt and equity), Generis Capital aims to provide better protection for investors, while maintaining the potential for high capital gains linked to private equity, and at the same time providing "meaning" to savings.

In 2011, Generis Capital created the first private equity fund to share and redistribute its profits to not-for-profit organisations working to create jobs and develop entrepreneurship in France and abroad.

« Our daily concern is to respond to the need of SMEs with the underlying idea that the recipes of the past have shown their limits and that is our responsibility to find the recipes of the future which will allow us to be more efficient, respectful of the common good with the objective of combining financial and social returns »
