Intuitae
Christophe Achard and Luc Granger established Intuitae in Paris in 2001 to serve families aiming to perpetuate and transfer wealth across generations. The firm positions itself as a multi-family office that acts in the sole interest of its clients, offering a structured methodology across four pillars: asset allocation advisory, wealth engineering, family governance, and exclusive service provision. Its team operates from offices in Paris, Geneva, Luxembourg, and Brussels. Intuitae’s investment activity spans private equity, real estate, and insurance-linked or reinsurance-risk exposures, all arranged on behalf of its client families. The firm does not market proprietary funds; instead, it guides families through a sequential process of analysis, decision support, implementation, and ongoing monitoring. Confirmed assets include the Sarphati Office Building in Amsterdam, and the firm maintains cultural engagement through its Art Sponsorship Collection in Paris. Its European footprint reflects the cross-border needs of its client base. The organization participates actively in industry standards as a member of the Association Française du Family Office (AFFO), where Achard sits on the board of directors. The firm also maintains a philanthropic interface through the Foundation Fournier-Majoie, where partner François Charlet serves as managing partner and board member. A notable structural adjacency is the ICSA joint venture with Capitalium Wealth Management, launched to provide dedicated single-family-office services — extending the firm's role from advisory to building and incubating bespoke family offices. What structurally differentiates Intuitae is its dual identity as both a multi-family office and an architect of single-family offices through the ICSA venture. Rather than pooling assets into commingled vehicles, it designs separate operational structures for individual families, functioning as an incubation partner for private investment offices. This model makes the firm an infrastructure provider to family capital, not merely an allocation advisor.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Intuitae?
Intuitae does not operate a centralized investment committee that allocates a single pool of capital. Founders Christophe Achard and Luc Granger lead a team of dedicated advisors assigned to each family. Investment strategy, asset allocation, and manager selection are handled on a bespoke basis, with Intuitae acting as an analytical and decision-support layer rather than a discretionary fund manager. A dedicated team is embedded with each family to ensure continuity and deep familiarity with the family's total balance sheet.
How is Intuitae related to Capitalium Wealth Management?
Intuitae and Capitalium Wealth Management, an independent wealth manager based in Geneva, jointly created the brand ICSA For Single Family Offices. The venture combines Capitalium's asset management infrastructure with Intuitae's family office design methodology. ICSA builds, incubates, and operates single-family offices for the largest families, moving Intuitae beyond advice into structural implementation.
Is Intuitae structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Intuitae is a multi-family office, not a venture firm or a single-family office. It does not raise external funds or manage commingled venture capital vehicles. The firm advises multiple families on governance, asset allocation, wealth engineering, and administrative services, and builds dedicated single-family offices for clients through its ICSA joint venture.
Does Intuitae participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Intuitae facilitates both fund commitments and direct investments on behalf of its families. The firm's advisory process covers asset allocation across listed and unlisted markets, with confirmed investment types including private equity, real estate, and insurance-linked strategies. Individual family mandates determine the mix of direct co-investments, fund commitments, and direct property holdings. The Sarphati Office Building in Amsterdam is one directly held asset.
Which sectors does Intuitae explicitly avoid?
Intuitae's published materials do not list explicit sector exclusions. The firm's focus is driven by the four service pillars — asset allocation, wealth engineering, family governance, and exclusive services — rather than by sector-based investment mandates. Individual families may impose their own ethical or sector restrictions, which the dedicated advisory teams integrate into the tailored investment policy.
How is Intuitae's philanthropic activity structured?
The firm maintains a connection to philanthropy through the Foundation Fournier-Majoie, where Intuitae's partner François Charlet serves as managing partner and a board member. This foundation operates as a separate legal entity from the family office advisory business. Intuitae's affiliation allows the firm to support families interested in structured charitable giving and mission-related investing without mixing philanthropic assets into its advisory balance sheet.
What is Intuitae's known posture on co-investments alongside external General Partners?
Intuitae sources private equity and real estate exposures for its families, which can include co-investment opportunities alongside external managers. The firm's sequential advisory process — analysis, implementation, monitoring — is designed to evaluate direct deal opportunities and fund commitments side by side. Co-investment participation depends on each family's specific mandate, but the firm's infrastructure supports analysis and execution of direct co-investments when appropriate.
