GP Stakes GP Stakes
GP Stakes involve taking minority stakes in the capital of alternative management companies. The maturity of the European mid-market has created significant financing needs, opening the way for GP Stakes players such as Armen. Widely developed in the United States since 2010, this strategy is growing rapidly there and is now emerging rapidly in Europe.

Like all growing companies, and particularly in a regulated and competitive environment, private equity players are faced with issues of generational transition.
They also have to deal with brand and business model development issues, and seek to improve customer satisfaction while meeting regulatory constraints linked to ever greater transparency requirements in an increasingly digital environment.
To achieve this, they need to get organised and invest in their human resources. Financing the acquisition of management companies positioned on complementary strategies or investing in new strategies are all reasons for a management company to open up its capital on a minority basis.

In addition to the capital provided, Armen provides strategic and operational support to management companies, bringing real added value to its holdings in areas such as fundraising, ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) regulatory requirements, cybersecurity, legal matters, data science, digitalisation, compliance, human resources, marketing and communications.
