1ST INVESTMENT FUND FOR THE ACCELERATION
OF ENTREPREURIAL AND BOUTIQUE INVESTMENT FIRMS
Acting as a true “acceleration partner” EMERGENCE provides the most promising and innovative French entrepreneurial asset managers with seed money to expand their funds, that is essential for their growth and their international development.
- Our Originality
- Emergence's Stucture
Emergence offers an unique and original model where the interests of institutional investors and entrepreneurial asset managers come together.
This originality is formed of four pillars:
❑ A rigorous selection of new talents in the asset management industry, submitted for decision to the vote of Investment Committees;
❑ A seed investment (with a lock-up period), provided to loosen the constraint of concentration ratios;
❑ The support of a recognized brand to develop visibility in France and internationally;
❑ An incentive scheme motivating institutional investors to “invest together”:
✓ By being placed at the core of Emergence’s corporate governance
✓ By being interested in the growth of the selected asset managers through revenue sharing deals
To source and analyse the most promising asset managers, Emergence relies on the renowned expertise of its delegated asset management company, NewAlpha AM.
800 Millions Euros of Capital Raised Since 2012
The capital raised by Emergence is invested in financial markets through the seeded funds managed by Emergence’s selected asset
managers-come partners, covering the following investment objectives:
A recognized brand for sustaining an international development
