LBP Asset Management (LBP AM), a multi-specialist in sustainable finance owned 75% by La Banque Postale and 25% by Aegon Asset Management, has launched a dedicated brand for its European private markets offering.
The move follows the recent appointment of Peter Arnold as head of LBP AM’s European Private Markets platform.
“Drawing on his strong track record in developing private assets businesses in Europe, the goal is to lead the development of the platform and strengthen the presence of LBP AM European private markets across the key private asset classes throughout Europe,” the firm announced.
LBP AM’s private markets platform has seen strong growth since its launch in 2012. Since its inception, LBP AM European Private Markets has raised €9.4bn and invested €8.4bn in more than 300 transactions.
“The key to this is the consistency of a strong and deeply experienced team,” the firm said.
The platform is made up of 45 experts, including 20 investment managers, with four pillars of expertise: infrastructure debt headed by Bérénice Arbona, corporate direct lending headed by Isabelle Luy-Landès, real estate debt headed by Christophe Murciani, and capital solutions – a recently-created division —headed by Irène d’Orgeval.
Pierre Bonnet completes the leadership team and chief operating officer of LBPAM European Private Markets.
With the new platform, “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”, it added.
