Co-Investment: investing alongside leading investment funds

The growing size of leveraged buyout (LBO) and expansion capital projects often requires the involvement of minority investment partners alongside majority investors. Such deals give the lead investors both greater investment capacity and the ability to make a larger number of deals, thus improving the diversification of their portfolios.

Crédit Agricole Private Equity is responding to these developments by launching a Co-Investment activity, with two funds dedicated to the acquisition of minority stakes alongside leading European and North-American investment funds.

Crédit Agricole Private Equity plays its co-investment role broadly from co-sponsor positions to pure syndication..

With an initial allocation of EUR 100M, the Co-Investment business will seek to invest up to EUR15M in mid to large scale leveraged buyout (LBO) and expansion capital deals across all sectors.

Crédit Agricole Private Equity intends to establish itself as a trusted long-term partner for major investment funds.
