Laillet Bordier & Acer Finance

Laillet Bordier & Acer Finance

Laillet Bordier & Acer Finance took its current shape in 2020 when Jean-Baptiste de Froment’s Acer Finance, an independent entrepreneurial financial institution, merged with the Laillet Bordier group co-founded by Jean-Marc Laillet and Philippe Bordier. The combined entity advises French and international entrepreneur families on a 360-degree basis that spans private wealth and corporate assets. Philippe Bordier is distinct from the Swiss Bordier & Cie banking family, a lineage point that occasionally requires clarification in European wealth-management circles. The firm runs three parallel investment engines. Private equity commitments target early-stage through growth-stage venture in France and Europe, with a confirmed position in ISYBOT, a collaborative robotics company that raised €7 million in February 2026 to industrialize its sanding and grinding robots (per the firm, February 2026). A real assets vertical, led by partner Arnaud Monnet, manages direct commercial property across the Paris region and beyond—assets on the firm’s books include 79 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Suresnes and the Park Wilson Residence in Colomiers. Acer Finance also acts as a structured-funds partner for institutional and professional investors, as demonstrated through its co-founding role in the SLP COLOMBUS REIM real estate fund alongside the Colombus Group. The firm operates from its Paris headquarters with additional offices in Chartres and Bordeaux. It belongs to the Association Française du Family Office and participates in GRI Club real estate gatherings, where Monnet serves as a co-chair. In early 2026, Acer Finance advised ENOWE, the family office of the Souparis family, on acquiring a portfolio of social and solidarity housing assets in Île-de-France (per the firm, January 2026). That same quarter, it sold the Park Wilson hotel residence in Colomiers on behalf of a third-party managed fund. Acer Finance’s structural distinction lies in its entrepreneurial-institutional hybrid: it behaves as a regulated independent financial institution under AMF oversight while retaining the deal-by-deal flexibility of a family office. The firm structures and manages dedicated investment funds for industrial and institutional clients, making it a frequent co-investment partner rather than a purely discretionary allocator. This regulatory posture opens the door to professional and institutional capital beyond the founding families’ own balance sheets.
