Frequently asked questions
Who controls Qualium Investissement’s investment decisions?
The management company’s capital is controlled by its investment team, making Qualium fully independent in its investment decisions. The firm was originally created in 1998 by Caisse des Dépôts (CDC), but the team executed a management buyout of the general partner. CDC remains a cornerstone limited partner alongside roughly 50 institutional and private subscribers.
How does Qualium source deals?
Qualium benefits from wide access to the French mid-market through relationships with managers, advisors, lenders, and intermediaries that its teams work with daily. This origination network was built over more than two decades, initially within CDC and subsequently under independent ownership. The firm’s institutional anchor and long track record reinforce its position as a preferred buyer for succession and growth-equity situations.
What is Qualium’s current fund size or AUM?
Qualium does not publicly disclose its current assets under management. It reports aggregate deployment of €2.1bn into more than 70 French companies since inception in 1998 (per the firm’s website). Individual fund sizes and dry powder are not published.
Does Qualium integrate ESG into its investment process?
Yes. Qualium has been a signatory of the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since 2010, as well as the France Invest Charter, the Parity Charter, and the international Climate initiative (iCi). The firm has adopted a Responsible Investor Charter and engages an external firm to assess portfolio companies and monitor ESG improvement plans alongside management teams.
