On Fundora, we select different private equity strategies, each with different risk profiles and investment horizons.

• LBO (Leveraged Buyout) This strategy consists in buying mature and profitable businesses by combining equity and debt. Debt makes it possible to amplify value creation at the time of resale. The LBO is appreciated for its visibility and its application to well-established businesses.

• Growth CapitalHere, the funds invest in companies that are already profitable and growing rapidly. The objective is to accelerate their development (new markets, acquisitions, internationalization), without resorting to debt. Exits generally take place over a period of 3 to 6 years.

• Venture capitalThis strategy targets start-ups with high potential, often in tech, health or climate. The risk is higher, but successes can generate very significant performance multiples.

• Secondary fundsSecondary funds buy back existing fund units, often at a discount. They offer a shorter exit horizon, better visibility on assets and a balanced risk/return profile. At Fundora, these strategies allow you to diversify your private equity investment, starting at €100, in a supervised and transparent manner.

A private equity fund is an investment fund that invests in companies that are not listed on the stock exchange. Unlike listed shares, these companies are not directly accessible on the financial markets — even though the majority of major global companies are not listed.

These funds invest in companies with high potential to support them in their growth, before a liquidity event (resale or new fundraising), with the aim of creating value over the medium to long term.

Managed by experienced professional teams, private equity funds carefully select their investments from a wide range of opportunities.

👉 As an investor, you invest in a fund with a horizon generally between 6 and 10 years, corresponding to the life cycle of the fund: raising capital, investing, supporting companies, then selling the participations.

At Fundora, we give you access to these investment strategies, starting at €100, in a supervised and transparent manner.

It's a question we get very often at Fundora: “Why can't I see the exact name of the fund (s) until I've invested?” ”

The answer is simple: it is a regulatory obligation, supervised by the AMF (Autorité des Marches Financiers).

In France, some private equity funds — in particular FPCI — are legally reserved for institutional or qualified investors with very high investment amounts. When offered to a wider audience, such as individuals, regulations prohibit publicly displaying their names before the investment is validated.

This rule has a clear objective: to protect investors and to avoid confusion or inappropriate marketing of complex financial products.

👉 That doesn't mean you're investing blindly. On the contrary. Before making any decision, you have access to all the essential elements: investment strategy, historical performances, targeted comparable sectors and examples of past investments.

Once your investment has been validated, you can then access all the detailed information: name of the fund, companies in the portfolio, complete reports and performance data.

At Fundora, this operation allows us to strictly comply with regulations while offering you a transparent, supervised and informed investment experience, in exceptional funds accessible from €100.
