Change of Headquarters
Our headquarters has moved to 11, rue Anatole de la Forge, in the heart of the 17th arrondissement.
About us
In 2014, following the sale of Ciprès Molitor — a former leader in the social protection sector — Georges-Henri founded a multi-sector family group with his two sons, Jonathan and Michael.
We built an entrepreneurial Family Office focused on three main areas
We primarily invest in the real economy, focusing on projects where we can bring tangible added value.
Our equity portfolio is built around a rigorous diversification strategy across sectors, geographies, and vintages
We primarily invest through direct equity stakes, investment funds, and private debt, with a selective approach focused on solid and well-positioned assets.
In Real Estate, we have been averaging one acquisition per month over the past five years
We have been opportunistically assembling a portfolio of hotel, para-hotel, office, retail, and residential assets, primarily located in Paris.
Driven by strong ambition, we intend to sustain this growth over the long term.
For more than 30 years, Insurance has been central to our strategy
True to our DNA, we launched Ilona (An affiliate of Groupe Suire Vie & Patrimoine) to provide concrete solutions to the ongoing transformations of a constantly evolving sector.
As a trusted partner to insurtech startups, we help them grow and define their strategy.
In parallel, we remain actively involved in co-brokerage, strengthening our partnerships with several leading French groups.
