Latour Capital is an independent management company, authorised by AMF (French Market Authorities) and 100% owned by its team. Latour Capital has over €2.6bn under management. We make investments: • in buyout and growth capital transactions • as majority or minority shareholder • on companies based in France and Europe • with an enterprise value in excess of €150m We have a generalist approach with, however, a focus on both business services and industrial businesses. We focus on primary transactions and, in this regard, target the spin-off of non-core subsidiaries of large groups. We focus on companies that have a strong growth potential, a specific competitive advantage (innovative product, commercial edge), an established or possible sustained international activity and a strong management team.
