Simon Associés

Simon Associés

Simon Associés was established as a multi-family office by Jean-Pierre Simon, with operations spanning from Mountain View, California, to Paris, France. The firm serves a network of families, coordinating co-investments and direct deals across asset classes. Its structure reflects a hybrid model combining family office services with active investment syndication. The firm's strategy targets real estate, infrastructure, private credit, venture capital, and private equity. Simon Associés participates in direct co-investments and club-style deals, often alongside other family offices and institutional co-investors. Geographic focus includes North America and Europe, with specific activity observed in the United States, Canada, and France. Known portfolio engagements include real estate holdings in California and Québec, though specific company names are not publicly detailed. Simon Associés maintains multiple offices across the United States, Canada, and France, suggesting a team distributed across key markets. The firm does not publicly disclose AUM or staffing numbers. Its operational posture includes periodic capital raising for real estate and infrastructure projects, with recent activity noted in 2024 regarding a Canadian real estate venture. The firm's philanthropic activities are not separately identified. A structural differentiator is Simon Associés' role as both a multi-family office and a syndicator of co-investments, effectively operating as a network hub for families seeking pooled access to private market assets. This dual function — managing family capital while sourcing and distributing deals to other families — creates a sourcing advantage that a pure single-family office or fund-of-funds would not replicate.
