Henriot Investment Management

Henriot Investment Management

Henriot Investment Management operates as the single-family office for Gilles A. Henriot, a descendant of the founding families behind Pernod Ricard. The group's wealth stems from the 1975 merger of Pernod and Ricard, two French anise-spirit dynasties whose origins date to the early 1800s. Gilles Henriot established the London-based office to manage and redeploy his share of the family's liquid wealth independently from the broader corporate holding structures. The office concentrates on direct real estate and private equity investments. London commercial and residential property forms the core physical allocation, with holdings observed in prime central London postcodes. The private equity book favors minority and control positions in European small-to-medium enterprises, often luxury-adjacent or consumer-facing businesses that align with the family's brand heritage. Geographic focus stays within the UK and Western Europe. No public disclosures detail team size or total assets under management. Henriot maintains a low public profile, with no dedicated firm website or LinkedIn presence. The structure appears purpose-built for discretion — a lean, private vehicle deploying family capital directly without outside investors. The family office model here functions as a liquidity deployment engine separate from the publicly traded Pernod Ricard SA. By maintaining an independent London base, Henriot avoids co-mingling with the broader family's corporate treasury, preserving both investment autonomy and a clean separation from the operating company's public-market obligations.
