Track record: In 2015 Montefiore Invest-

ment sold its stake in three companies:

B&B Hotels to PAI Partners, Demos to the

Weidong Group as well as the Higher Ins-

titute of Health Professions (ISPS). Of the

four acquisitions this year, we note among

others the investments in Interflora and

Voyageurs du monde.

Team & differentiation: True to its strategy of

focus & growth, Montefiore aims to accele-

rate the growth of SMEs and middle-market

companies valued between €20 and €200

million and positioned on the services and

goods distribution sectors. It’s mainly majority

investments that the teams strive to achieve

in respect of ESG (Environmental, social and

of Governance) criteria.
