LM Capital
LM Capital was established in 2007 by Antoine Lakah, a former Credit Suisse private banker whose family background includes the Lakah Holdings group with historical operations in Egypt and Syria. The firm serves affluent families primarily from French-speaking Europe through consolidated reporting, discretionary mandates and direct private-market access. Investment activity spans buyouts and growth equity from Series A to Series D, executed via direct co-investments, SPVs and select fund commitments. Confirmed sector exposure includes EdTech, Healthcare Services, PropTech, FinTech, Distressed & Turnaround and Energy Transition & Renewables. Geographic reach covers Asia, the Middle East & Central Asia, North America and South America. Portfolio holdings and co-investors are not publicly itemized beyond internal mandates. The operating team comprises four named professionals, including sons Guillaume Lakah and Bastien Lakah. Adjacent vehicles include LM Capital Real Estate Development Projects and LMC Certificates, an actively managed commodity product domiciled in Switzerland. No philanthropic structures beyond Fondation du Festival du Rire de Montreux are disclosed. Memberships include Promove and VSV-ASG. The firm’s architecture combines a Swiss-regulated asset-manager license with family-office discretion, allowing it to retain direct co-investment rights while outsourcing custody and certain reporting functions to third-party banks.
