Apicap launches Women Leadership Capital fund

WLC will back businesses whose CEO, director, board member or significant investors are women.

The fund should hold a first closing in the next 12 months and is aiming to hold a final close in the €100-200m range. French and foreign institutional LPs and high-net-worth individuals are expected to back the fund.

WLC intends to acquire minority or majority stakes in 10-12 companies via growth investments or leveraged buyouts and providing tickets in the €8-20m range. The vehicle is sector-agnostic.

Around 80% of the fund should be invested in France while the remainder will back businesses based elsewhere in Europe.  

Apicap's deputy CEO, Philippe Pronost, and investment director Claire Gomar are managing the vehicle.
