B. Durand Capital Partners
Benjamin Durand established the firm in 2015 after an entrepreneurial career. It operates from a single Paris address and maintains membership in France Invest and the Association Française du Family Office. The firm allocates across listed equities, private equity, venture capital, real estate and club deals. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs alongside fund commitments. Geographic reach centers on Europe with additional exposure to international markets through non-resident clients. Confirmed positions and co-investors are not publicly itemized. The team includes Chief Investment Officer David Gaud and two associates. In February 2026 UI Investissement took a minority stake to back European expansion. The office at 25 rue François-Ier houses all professionals. No additional vehicles or club memberships beyond the two industry associations are disclosed. The firm deliberately caps the number of client families to preserve dedicated service levels. This structure separates it from larger multi-family offices that prioritize asset aggregation over individualized coordination of banking, tax and philanthropic partners.
