2022 was another milestone for CAPZA with a 25% growth in assets (1) to reach €7.6bn⁽¹⁾.

Growth has been driven both by the successful fund raising of our historic private debt strategies but also through our mid-cap LBO strategy and our ability to develop ESG / Impact solutions.

New funds, new solutions

In 2022, we have launched 2 new innovative funds focused on decarbonation: :

• CAPZA Flex Equity Mid-Market II, one of the very first French LBO mid-cap fund aiming to support companies in Europe in their growth and decarbonation journey in line with the Paris agreements. Today, beyond taxonomy-aligned (or “green”) funds, the urgency is to enable companies in traditional sectors to transform in order to reduce their carbon and environmental footprint and develop environmentally efficient solutions.

• MAIF Environmental Impact Debt Fund, aims to support companies in reducing their carbon footprint in line with the Paris agreements and develop their social commitment.

Furthermore, we have raised awareness of climate change among all CAPZA teams through the Climate Fresk training. We are proud to have now 8 staff members who are facilitators of the “Climate Fresk” and who can contribute to educate our ecosystem on climate issues. We are convicedconvinced that a good understanding of the fundamental science between behind climate change is key to develop solutions and take action.

Moreover, in order to respond to the growing appetite of private investors for private equity, we are contributing to the development of innovative solutions (FCPR, 150 O B Ter, etc.) to package private equity and debt for the private wealth market.

Investments

The year was also very dynamic on the investment side, with more than 120 SMEs/ETIs currently supported by CAPZA in their growth strategy ⁽²⁾.

CAPZA’s 6 investment teams carried out 44 transactions in 2022 (27 in private debt and 17 in private equity), representing 1.8 billion euros arranged.⁽³⁾

Although we are a generalist player, most of these investments were made in CAPZA’s preferred sectors: tech, healthcare and business services.

30% of these investments were made outside France thanks to CAPZA’s offices in Italy, Spain and Germany. To complete our pan-European presence, we also opened a new office in Amsterdam to cover the Benelux region where the team has already completed two transactions.

The year was also active on the divestment side with 17 exits (vs 13 last year).⁽³⁾

Shareholding

100% of CAPZA employees are now shareholders, reflecting our commitment to value sharing.

ESG engagement

We are convinced that the companies that can meet the challenges of sustainable development will be those that create more value and make a difference to their competitors. As an investment fund, we must support them both financially and strategically in their transformation.

In 2022, we have therefore defined three key priorities to guide our sustainability strategy: contributing to carbon neutrality by 2050, preserving species and ecosystems, and promoting inclusion and value sharing. These three priorities guide our actions in the active support of our holdings portfolio companies and in the implementation of our CSR approach as a management company.

We would like to thank our teams, our clients and our partners for everything that we collectively achieved in 2022.
