Dear Visitor,
Capital Conseils², always keen to unearth investment opportunities for you, is today interested in a type of asset that is little known to the general public.
The FCPR (Fonds Commun de Placement à Risques) is an investment vehicle designed to invest in the securities of unlisted companies. It is a private equity product that carries a risk of capital loss. This risk must be assumed before subscribing.
Today we're going to take a look at the FCPR Entrepreneurs Sélection Secondaire.
This is a fund specifically dedicated to investing in unlisted companies through securities or funds subscribed on a secondary basis.
What is the secondary market?
The strategy of a secondary fund is to acquire fund units or portfolios that have already been built up. In general, these are invested at a minimum of 50%, with a target of 70%. This makes it possible to enter after the J-curve.

The graph opposite shows that the investment phase mechanically leads to a decline in the fund in the first few months of its creation.
What are the advantages, you may ask?
The advantages are numerous, but the main ones to remember are :
The "J" curve is generally reduced, as the investment is "almost mature".
Better visibility, as the background's anteriority means more elements can be audited.
Buying at a discount is not uncommon for the secondary market, like the second-hand market, to buy at a discount. It remains to be seen why.
A quicker exit, where the Primary fund will last 7 years, the Secondary fund will allow you to recover your funds more quickly.
An essential diversification tool, just like a PEA.
As you can see, the main drawback is the liquidity risk, but we have chosen Entrepreneur Invest for its 23 years of expertise.
We look forward to hearing from you!
