 
Natixis Private Equity is the leading provider of Private Equity to small and mid-sized companies in France (enterprise value of €50 million to €500 million). It is also a major player in Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy, and Poland) and an increasingly high-profile player in the fast-growing markets of Asia and South America.
NPE operates in all segments of the Private Equity market – Venture Capital, Expansion Capital, Buy-out/Buy-in Capital and Funds-of-funds. It has 18 teams, over 180 professionals and 600 investments. NPE is the prime and most important source of capital for its teams. It sponsors – i.e. supports and finances from their inception - all NPE funds and is always the leading subscriber on behalf of third-party investors.
Natixis Private Equity’s current commitments stand at €1.675 billion, thanks to the active support of the Natixis group.
- A major component of Natixis Private Equity’s business model - providing support from its own capital - ensures a long-term commitment for professionals, entrepreneurs and investors, regardless of how economic cycles or investment markets develop.
- The “raison d'être” of Natixis Private Equity’s business model also lies in the specific characteristics of the environment in which its teams operate, namely the entrepreneurial and responsive SME market. By adapting its business model to the characteristics of this market, Natixis Private Equity offers a real competitive advantage that benefits the members of its investment teams and entrepreneurs.
Natixis Private Equity has been able to develop a unique profile to support its experienced local teams and extend its expertise to other countries.
Thanks to its unique sponsoring model, which favors close local ties, Natixis Private Equity offers teams in other countries the opportunity to benefit from its experience, its extensive network, its methods and financial backing.
In order to increase the number of exchanges between French AND international teams, thereby allowing for the sharing of expertise AND opportunities, NPE has decided to build business development and knowledge management units.
