Omnes launches Omnes Mezzanis n°3 Private Investors
Omnes has launched an AMF-accredited FCPR (Fonds de Communs de Placement à Risque) fund for private clients, aiming to invest in unlisted growth SME's in France.
With a target of €30m, the fund is designed to make joint investments alongside the Omnes Mezzanis 3 FPCI fund – a third-generation private debt fund dedicated to French SMEs with a €150m target.
With the new fund, Omnes aims to offer private banking clients an investment strategy with the same performance targets as an institutional fund. It will allow them to diversify their financial assets and obtain exposure to French SMEs.
The initiative follows Omnes' success in private equity offering for individuals in 2015, with €72m collected via their small-cap buyout and growth capital fund.
Investors
Investor names have not been circulated yet, but investments in the fund will begin at €5,000. The fund will be distributed by LCL Private Banking and is open to marketing to other bank networks.
Investments
The fund will aim to invest in French companies with a value of €50-300m, solid fundamentals, an experienced management team and strong potential for operational development and/or growth through acquisitions.
It will take part in mezzanine and unitranche financing transactions structured as private debt bond products within the framework of LBO transactions or sponsorless transactions.
