Ostrum Private Equity

Gaëlle Malléjac serves as Global Chief Investment Officer for the entire Ostrum Asset Management platform, which includes fixed-income, equities, multi-asset, quantitative management, and private equity. The firm does not name a dedicated head of the private equity fund-of-funds group, suggesting Malléjac sets the overall allocation framework while a specialist team executes manager selection and monitoring.

The private equity team conducts its own sourcing and due diligence, but benefits from the parent firm's infrastructure — including one of Europe's largest credit research teams with 22 analysts and over 50 research experts across asset classes. This gives the fund-of-funds group access to macro and sector intelligence that most standalone private equity allocators lack.

Neither. Ostrum Private Equity is a dedicated fund-of-funds unit within Ostrum Asset Management, a European institutional manager with €388 billion in total assets (per the firm, March 2026). It commits capital to external private equity funds rather than making direct investments or operating as a family office.

It operates exclusively as a fund-of-funds, constructing a diversified portfolio of commitments to external buyout, growth, and venture capital managers. The firm does not advertise direct co-investment or secondary capabilities, maintaining a pure fund-commitment posture in its public materials.

The private equity unit commits to funds across buyout, growth, and venture stages, mirroring the standard European institutional fund-of-funds blend. The parent firm does not disclose stage-weighting splits, minimum commitment sizes, or geographic concentration for the PE book.
