Galilée Gestion de Patrimoine

Galilée Gestion de Patrimoine

Galilée Gestion de Patrimoine launched in 1996 when Edmond Michaly formalized his wealth-management practice into a multi-family office headquartered in Strasbourg. The firm's capital base traces to the Michaly family's own success in investment advisory and asset management, creating an owner-operator alignment that defines its approach to serving other entrepreneurial families. From day one, the office organized around a cross-disciplinary patrimonial study, stitching together legal, tax optimization and financial engineering under one roof. Across its client mandates, Galilée allocates to private equity, private credit, natural resources and real estate, complementing these with direct co-investments and SPVs, fund-of-funds structures and curated holdings in collectibles and passion assets. The firm operates an investment geography centered on Europe and North America. Its sector focuses include AgriTech & FoodTech, ClimateTech and Cybersecurity, reflecting priorities of the entrepreneurial families it serves rather than a single institutional benchmark. Galilée maintains its sole office in Strasbourg and has not disclosed total assets under advisement or deployment figures. The firm does promote a distinctive Luxembourg-domiciled insurance and capitalization contract expertise: in July 2024 it issued guidance on the protective function of such contracts during periods of French political uncertainty. That note underscores a defensive-wealth posture — using cross-border structures to preserve multigenerational capital — which serves as a practical differentiator for clients concentrated in France. Structurally, the firm's uncommon feature is its insistence on a proprietary six-step advisory methodology, developed by the internal team, that runs counter to the standardized solutions common among larger French wealth managers. By refusing off-the-shelf financial products and instead routing every client through a full patrimonial diagnostic, Galilée operates more like a bespoke family office than a regulated asset gatherer. The framework privileges capital preservation and intergenerational continuity — a mandate shaped by the founder's own family-office experience.
