(as at 30/09/2018)

With four core activities - securities, real estate, investment solutions, and direct financing -La Française deploys its multi-affiliate business model with institutional and private clients, both in France and abroad. Today, it is present in major European cities, in the United States and in Asia.

As a “responsible” asset management group with a long-term vision, La Française anticipates tomorrow’s challenges and adapts its current strategy accordingly.

Customer satisfaction: the priority

La Française strives to develop solutions that meet the challenges and needs of a diverse client base. A network of qualified local sales professionals distributes La Française products and services across the globe.

  • Institutional investors

    Due to its offer, size, and reputation, La Française is a leading player among institutional investors.

  • Retail clients

    Distribution via multiple channels: financial advisor networks, the 2nd open-architecture investment platform in France, local distribution agreements.

International development and a global offer tailored to local markets

13%

of assets generated by international business

La Française began its cross-border expansion in 2010 with its first local office opening in Spain. Since then, international development has gained traction through strategic development partnerships with industry leaders including Fred Alger Management, IPCM, JK Capital Management, Standard & Poor’s Capital IQ and Tages. La Française now has offices in Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Greenwich (CT, USA), Hong Kong, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, Seoul and Singapore, affording the group a global reach.

La Française’s international development strategy is based on a single clearly articulated philosophy: to successfully export its investment solutions, La Française must be a leader in its domestic market in the relevant field of expertise.

International business now accounts for 13,8 % of total assets (as at 30/06/2017). The group has a dynamic midterm development plan and forecasts to grow this share to 20% of total assets under management by 2020.

"La Française is uniquely positioned as a multi-specialist asset manager, driven forward by men and women whose convictions and values are the foundation for the Group's success and growth."
