Overview

Archinvest is a Paris management company authorised by the AMF in 2022 and founded by Nicolas Macquin, Emilie Loyer-Buttiaux and Pierre-Olivier Desplanches. It runs its own funds of funds and feeders that commit to institutional private-equity managers in LBO (Europe, US, Asia), private debt and secondaries, and a co-investment fund that invests alongside those managers. Its clients are wealth advisers, family offices and their private investors; the team invests in each fund except Archinvest Dette Privée I. It reports €350M of assets under management at January 2026, including the earlier French Partners private-equity activity.

Investment thesis

Diversified exposure to 3–4 first-quartile institutional managers per vehicle (LBO, private debt, secondaries) in Europe, the US and Asia, plus co-investments in 5–7 growth companies alongside those managers.
