FRANCE – Af2i promotes institutional interest in pe

Jean-Philppe Richaud of Macif and Jean-Yves Mary of Caisse Nationale des Caisses d’Epargne have co-piloted an incentive to promote institutional awareness towards private equity within the Af2i (association française des investisseurs institutionnels). Last year they set up a working group aimed at giving French institutions a chance to debate issues surrounding private equity investments. Its 12 members represent a variety of French institutional investors intent on providing a functional guide to the asset class, as well as lobbying for the best institutional approaches towards private equity.
