This morning, I was interviewed by Karen Tso and Arabile Gumede from CNBC, on the occasion of the IPO of UK-based company CVC Capital Partners on Euronext. This listing is a very strong signal of the IPO come-back in continental Europe this year. This confirms again that Euronext is the #1 listing venue for European and international companies seeking to list in Europe.    We have welcomed 12 listings so far in 2024, recording 45% of all listings in Europe. This proves the attractiveness of our single order book enabled by the largest European liquidity pool. The higher visibility on interest rates is unlocking the appetite of companies to go for an IPO, and the coming months will confirm the very positive trend we have been seeing since the start of the year, as the IPO pipeline is very thick.   Our harmonised listing value proposition across our 7 European markets proves once again its high value. We also welcome the adoption by the European Parliament of the Listing Act. We fully support this initiative which is essential to make listing on public markets more attractive for issuers. We welcome the agreement to have a uniform Prospectus at EU level limited in length. We remain fully committed at Euronext to support the financing of the real economy at European level, and to build the European savings and investments union.

In 2020, we launched the commercialization of Merlin, a software suite dedicated to Private Equity funds, bringing a new vision of IT for Management Companies, stemming from our collaboration with a leading Management Company in the field. Our aim wasn't to offer yet another interpretation of the market's historical software. Our references aren't there. Our references lie with the world's leading ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) providers, where we've worked for over 15 years. Like millions of companies that have chosen ERP, we believe in process automation, alignment of business practices, data consistency provided by a single repository, best practices, and collaboration between departments—benefits they've observed for over 25 years. Before venturing into Private Equity, we worked with companies and major corporations in banking, insurance, retail, manufacturing, energy, facing pressures on prices, margins, encountering new competitors or market downturns. We witnessed how they struggled to improve operational efficiency through process automation, strengthened interdepartmental collaboration, secured revenues through better understanding and service to clients, and personalized their relationship with them. We've seen them adopt ERPs tailored to their size and industry specifics, along with performance forecasting and management systems based on their data. These are the goals of Merlin, filling a gap in the Private Equity market. What we offer these funds is what their institutional investors use: an integrated solution, bringing the same benefits. We've added a level of automation, unknown from US software: the Business Flows Decomposer (or Event Report Decomposer). Thanks to the Event Report Decomposer, recording a transaction (asset or liability operation) automatically generates accounting, cash position, and inventory updates. Finally, our founder's background in a major investment bank brought a rigor in securities processing, unique in the market. The benefits are undeniable, proven time and again in other sectors. Business activities are automated to the fullest extent, operational errors (such as hurdle rate calculations, interest calculations, currency operations, etc.) isappear, internal controls are reduced. The Private Equity business environment is deteriorating: rates rising make PE funds less appealing, fundraising is more difficult, valuations are down, investors are more selective... Secondary funds are thriving. The recipe to best cope with this has been known for over 25 years. That's what we propose with Merlin. #privateequity# #privatedebt# #privatequity#

New Investment! 💻 🍃 After more than 2 years alongside Sopht, we are proud to strengthen our commitment by participating in this crucial new phase of their development. Congratulations to Sopht for raising €3.3M in a successful funding round co-led by Ternel and Axeleo Capital (AXC). We are pleased to welcome them among the investors! 🌪 💸 The IT ecosystem of companies can represent up to 45% of their total carbon footprint as well as a significant part of their overall budget. These are two issues often closely linked: for instance, 35% of cloud expenses are overinvested. At the heart of Green ITOps, Sopht is a scalable lever for companies, not only to comply with new reporting regulations, but also to reduce their carbon footprint in a concrete and intelligent manner. ➡ At Wind Capital, we are confident in the team's ability to achieve their ambitious goal of managing 1 million tons of CO2 within 4 years. #GreenTech #IT #Decarbonization #CSRD #Innovation Jérémie VEG Julien Rouzé Gautier Levert Thomas Rival Yann Spatafora Eric Burdier Evolem Plug and Play Tech Center Ring Capital Climate Club Thierry Vandewalle Tristan MARTIN Raphaël Peyrau Mylène Delebassé

Are traditional stock market investments enough to meet the modern investor's needs? This important question (and many others) was recently posed to me during an engaging interview with Max Severijns from Investment Officer Luxembourg. We discussed my journey through the world of private equity, the inception of Moonfare and how investors might outperform the S&P500. I hope you will read the full story. #PrivateEquity #InvestmentOfficer #InvestorInsights

The #G7 will launch Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (#ERA) Loans for Ukraine, in order to make available USD 50 bn in additional funding to Ukraine by the end of the year. This financing will be serviced and repaid by future flows of extraordinary revenues stemming from the immobilization of russian sovereign assets held in the EU and otherrelevant jurisdictions. Russia’s sovereign assets will remain immobilized until Russia ends its aggression and pays for the damage it has caused to Ukraine. The disbursement will be performed through multiple channels that direct the funds to Ukraine’s military, budget, and reconstruction needs. As it relates to reconstruction, we will also strengthen the Multiagency Donor Coordination Platform for Ukraine (#MDCP) to help coordinate the disbursal of funds and ensure they align with Ukraine’s highest priority needs at a pace it can effectively absorb.

Luxembourg is demonstrating leadership in prioritizing equality-focused finance. The Female Entrepreneurship Fund (FEF), a specialized investment vehicle for institutional investors, was recently launched by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Luxembourg and several development finance partners. The fund will make loans to banks in Central America that provide loans to women-owned small and medium enterprises. The vehicle also provides training to banks on serving underrepresented clients. Last year Luxembourg launched the Women in Finance Charter, with signatories from throughout the financial sector setting targets for higher leadership representation for women. Its first annual survey results recently showed that women comprise the majority of non-management roles in the finance sector, while making up only 26% of executive/C-suite level positions and 27% of board directors. Following from the launch of the charter, the Ministry of Finance, Luxembourg launched a Gender Finance Task Force of government and finance sector leaders. The new FEF is an innovative structure to direct investment toward women-owned businesses in developing economies. Our favorite thing about Luxembourg’s focus on gender finance is the growing number of Gender bonds from all global regions listed on the Luxembourg Green Exchange.

🏠 Four major banks - Spuerkeess, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL), Banque Raiffeisen, and SNCI - have teamed up to launch a €250 million scheme aimed at boosting the sector. This initiative will purchase properties that developers can't market, potentially bringing up to 1,300 additional flats to the market. Despite falling property prices, market activity has slowed, with a 42% drop in home sales in 2023. #Luxembourg #RealEstate #HousingCrisis
