Serein

Serein

Serein was established by Natalie Fruchaud as the single family office for principals whose wealth originated in shipping. Fruchaud maintains a dual role directing sustainability strategy for those operating interests while overseeing the office's investment program. The office deploys capital into private equity, real estate, infrastructure, natural resources and public markets. It targets early-stage opportunities and maintains exposure to hedge funds and private credit. Confirmed geographic reach covers Europe and North America. Serein Properties handles the residential real estate portfolio with holdings in Canada and the UK. No specific co-investors or named portfolio companies appear in public materials. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. The office maintains membership in the Campden Club. Serein Philanthropy operates as the family's grant-making vehicle. No operational events from the last 24 months are recorded in available sources. Serein integrates one-to-one coaching on leadership, succession and human capital directly into the family office structure rather than outsourcing to external advisers. This places the firm at the intersection of capital allocation and internal family governance.
