Edipresse Group

Edipresse Group

Edipresse Group was founded in 1907 by the Lamunière family. Its wealth originated in Swiss newspaper and magazine publishing before expanding into digital media and property. Pierre Lamunière serves as chairman while his sons Sébastien and Michel hold operating roles in the group and Tatler Asia respectively. The office allocates across media, real estate and private equity. It deploys patient capital through direct holdings, co-investments and selected fund commitments. Geographic reach includes Switzerland and Asian markets via Tatler Asia. Confirmed assets comprise commercial properties in Lausanne and Geneva plus the family art collection. No public list of external portfolio companies exists. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. The group maintains its headquarters at Avenue de la Gare 33 in Lausanne and operates Fondation Edipresse for philanthropic activities. Pierre Lamunière previously chaired FIPP from 2007 to 2009. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. Decision rights rest with the Lamunière family and a board that includes André Kudelski and Claude Smadja. This hybrid family-plus-adviser model distinguishes the office from pure external-manager structures common among newer European family offices.
