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.
