Private Equity Advisory is our only business. We know how to fundraise and run a secondary transaction in the current market environment. We possess the right experience, structure and mindset.
Our assignments are executed exclusively at the senior partner level. We shy away from junior execution, standardised solutions and large-scale mechanisms.
Roux Capital Sarl is registered in France as Conseil en Investissements Financiers (Financial Investment Adviser) under ORIAS number 13000599 on the national Registre Unique des Intermédiaires en Assurance, Banque et Finance and is a valid member of ANACOFI-CIF, regulated by Autorité des Marchés Financiers.
We work with the most active investors. But in most assignments, we reach beyond the obvious choices and target remote investors with undisputed investment capacity.
Roux Capital is independent and conflict free. We do not have any capital links or strategic agreements with banks, financial institutions, investors, fund managers or intermediaries.
We possess significant track record and corresponding market references. Contact us to verify them on an anonymous and confidential basis.
We possess limited size and capital, compared with the parties to our assignments. Our only way to succeed in this concentrated environment is to consistently serve our clients in their best interest.
We are always available. We believe in hard work. We know that if we focus on the quality of our work, our financial success will follow naturally.
We rely on creativity and imagination to solve complex situations. We ask questions again when we do not understand. We do not take a no for an answer. We leave no stone unturned.
We possess experience, energy and reputation. The latter takes the longest to build and the fastest to vanish. If it does so, the former two become useless. We strive to maintain our reputation.
We act in a loyal and reliable manner, and expect our business partners to do so.
Our assignments are never publicised at our own initiative.
