General Atlantic

General Atlantic is the only Growth Equity fund in the world with such broad international coverage (16 offices across five regions).

The asset management company is continually committed to expanding its international presence by gradually opening new offices.

To optimise sourcing and maintain close relations with entrepreneurs and their management teams, half of the investment team operates outside the United States, in order to be closer to the companies we support on every continent.

First, the company identifies promising themes for long-term global growth, such as the transition to a digital economy, the rise of the middle class, new cycles of technological innovation and so on.

Secondly, it targets the global players capable of promoting these themes and adapting them to their local realities.

Despite our extensive territorial presence, all investment decisions are taken by a single international investment committee, guaranteeing the quality and consistency of the portfolio.

Capitalising on over 40 years' experience in its chosen fields, General Atlantic has acquired in-depth knowledge of the key success factors specific to each segment (in its "Playbook").

What's more, the company provides its invested company with a highly qualified operational team.

Over 80% of the portfolio is made up of companies with a digital dimension, benefiting from General Atlantic's extensive network and the skills of an operational team specialised in growth acceleration (sales, marketing, finance, technology, etc.).

The General Atlantic teams stand out for their responsiveness and flexibility with regard to the types of transaction (majority or minority), with the amounts invested generally progressive and adapted to the growth of the companies supported (it should be noted that the rate of loss posted by the company on its completed investments is very low, at less than 9% over 15 years).
