Natixis launches global PE manager

The $1tn French asset manager has launched the new private equity manager by merging three of its private equity affiliates: Euro-PE, Caspian Private Equity and Eagle Asia.

Flexstone Partners provides services to institutional investors, including pension funds, insurance companies, foundations, financial institutions and family offices, from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. It focuses on selecting and accessing private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure fund managers across America, Europe and Asia. It also specialises in primary, secondary and co-investments.

Eric Deram, the former founder and managing partner of Euro-PE, has been appointed as CEO of the new $6.7bn private equity manager. The firm has a global team of more than 40 private equity experts in offices based in Paris, New York, Singapore and Geneva.

Flexstone Partners is a signatory of the UN Principles for responsible investing, and it actively searches for responsible growth opportunities for clients.

The launch of Flexstone Partners follows other Natixis ventures into alternatives and real assets earlier this year. The firm recently acquired MV Credit, a UK-based private debt specialist, and it launched a co-investment offering on real asset private debt through its affiliate Ostrum Asset Management and Natixis' Corporate and Investment Banking arm.
