Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Naxicap Partners?
Naxicap Partners is governed by a Directoire (Executive Board) comprising Eric Aveillan (Président), Fabien Filliette, Angèle Faugier, and Axel Bernia. Regional offices have senior directors with investment authority, but ultimate decision-making and portfolio oversight rest with the Directoire in Paris.
How does Naxicap Partners source proprietary deal flow?
Naxicap operates five offices — Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Toulouse, and Frankfurt — which is an unusual physical footprint for a French mid-market GP. The regional offices function as local origination hubs, giving the firm early access to family-owned and founder-led mid-caps across France's industrial regions, a segment often missed by Paris-concentrated funds.
What is Naxicap's relationship with BPCE?
Naxicap Partners originated within the BPCE banking group ecosystem, and BPCE entities remain anchor limited partners in its funds. However, the firm operates as an independent management company and raises third-party capital from institutional investors alongside the BPCE commitment.
What investment stages does Naxicap Partners typically target?
The firm concentrates on majority buyouts in profitable mid-caps, but it also runs a small-cap buyout team (Naxicap Small Caps) and retains an Innovation & Croissance team covering select venture and growth equity. Historically Naxicap was a minority growth-capital investor, but over 80% of its activity is now majority buyout.
Which sectors does Naxicap explicitly avoid?
Naxicap is a generalist investor with no declared sector exclusions. It focuses on B2B-oriented, profitable companies with comprehensible business models, which suggests it typically avoids speculative, pre-revenue technology, hard biotech, and deep commodity-exposed industries.
Does Naxicap Partners maintain a philanthropic structure?
There is no publicly disclosed philanthropic foundation directly linked to Naxicap Partners. The firm runs a structured ESG program embedded into its portfolio company management, coordinated by a dedicated ESG team.
What is Naxicap's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Naxicap acts as a majority investor and typically controls deal structuring, rather than participating as a passive co-investor alongside other lead GPs. When the firm invests alongside management teams, it actively drives build-up strategies and operational initiatives rather than following another sponsor.
