LBP AM creates dedicated brand for its European private assets platform: LBP AM European Private Markets

This initiative is a key step for LBP AM – the asset management subsidiary of La Banque Postale, within the large French public financial division – which aims to accelerate its growth in the strategically-important European private assets segment. The creation of this dedicated brand is accompanied by a distinctive visual identity.

The launch of LBP AM European Private Markets follows the recent appointment of Peter Arnold as Head of LBP AM’s European private markets platform. Drawing on his proven track record in developing private assets businesses in Europe, the goal is to lead the development of the platform and strengthen LBP AM European Private Markets’ presence across key asset classes throughout Europe.
 

LBP AM’s private markets platform has seen strong growth since its launch in 2012. 
Since inception, LBP AM European Private Markets has raised EUR 9.4 billion and invested EUR 8.4 billion in more than 300 transactions1.  The key to this is the consistency of a strong and deeply experienced team. The platform is made up of 45 experts, including 20 investment managers, with four verticals of expertise:

• infrastructure debt, headed by Bérénice Arbona 
• corporate direct lending, headed  by Isabelle Luy-Landès
• real estate debt, headed by Christophe Murciani
• Capital Solutions, a recently-created division, headed by Irène d’Orgeval
  
  Pierre Bonnet completes the leadership team as COO of LBP AM European Private Markets.

With LBP AM European Private Markets, LBP AM aims to establish itself as a key player in the European private assets market, offering its clients tailor-made and innovative investment solutions. LBP AM also aims to make private markets more accessible to La Banque Postale’s retail clients by facilitating access to funds dedicated to financing the real economy and the ecological transition.
