Eres Group

Eres Group

Eres Group was founded in Paris to provide institutional investors with multi-asset solutions spanning private markets and liquid alternatives, operating outside the traditional French banking network. The firm structures retirement-focused and long-duration portfolios for pension funds, insurers, and corporate clients across France and wider Europe. Eres deploys capital across private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge fund strategies, often accessing underlying assets through fund commitments and co-investment vehicles. The group's model emphasizes diversification through uncorrelated return streams, with known exposure to European mid-market buyout funds, direct lending platforms, and core-plus real asset strategies in continental Europe. Its client base draws from French pension institutions, mutual insurers, and corporate treasuries seeking inflation-aware income generation. Team scale remains privately held, though the firm maintains an investment committee-led process with specialized research units covering illiquid and liquid alternative sleeves. Eres has broadened its geographic sourcing in recent years to include select North American fund relationships, complementing a historically eurozone-centric manager line-up. The firm also offers regulatory consulting and liability-driven investment advisory for French occupational pension schemes. Eres distinguishes itself structurally by operating as a fully independent partnership without an affiliated bancassurance parent — a rare posture in the French institutional market, where Crédit Agricole, AXA, and BNP Paribas dominate asset gathering. This independence shapes a manager-selection framework that prioritizes boutique fund access over proprietary product distribution, positioning Eres as an outsourced CIO resource for French institutions seeking unconflicted portfolio construction.
