Frequently asked questions

Who makes investment decisions at Yam Invest?

Yam Invest was founded by French entrepreneur Arnaud de Ménibus, who, along with unnamed partners, leads the firm. The firm's website does not list a CIO or investment committee. Decision-making authority appears to reside with the founder and the leadership of each operating subsidiary — YAREAL International for Polish real estate and Assets and Equity for French assets.

What is the relationship between Yam Invest, YAREAL, and Assets and Equity?

YAREAL International, YAREAL Polska, and Assets and Equity are wholly-owned operating subsidiaries of Yam Invest N.V., the Dutch-registered holding company. Each subsidiary is branded separately, maintains its own office and local management, and executes real estate development projects in its respective market — YAREAL in Poland, Assets and Equity in France.

Does Yam Invest invest in venture capital or private equity outside real estate?

The firm's public disclosures describe its main activity as real estate development, with a particular focus on residential and office assets. No portfolio companies, venture investments, or private equity fund commitments are named on its website. The firm presents itself as a pure-play real estate developer operating through its subsidiaries.

How does Yam Invest source its development deals?

The firm does not publicly describe its sourcing process. However, because it operates through locally staffed subsidiaries in Warsaw and Paris rather than a centralized investment team, deal origination is likely relationship-driven and tied to each subsidiary's regional market presence. No external capital partners or co-investors are disclosed.

Is Yam Invest a single family office?

Yam Invest identifies itself as an independent private investment company founded by Arnaud de Ménibus with other partners. It is not structured as a single family office, and no information is publicly available about whether the founding wealth originates from a single family's operating business or from pooled partner capital. The label 'family office' does not appear in firm disclosures.
