Omnes Capital, the former private equity operations of French bank
Crédit Agricole, has sponsored the management buyout of Groupe
Eyssautier, a marine and transport insurance broker.
Founded in
1935 by the Eyssautier family, the group provides risk analysis and
insurance services to the transport and shipping sectors
Last
year, the group generated revenues of almost €10m from its branches in
Paris, Marseille and Athens, which employ some 50 people.
Crédit
Agricole jettisoned its private equity division in a transaction with
secondaries specialist Coller Capital in December 2011, before the team
rebranded as Omnes Capital three months later. The spin-out allowed the
bank to cut its “risk-weighted” assets by €900m.
The firm, headed
up by Fabien Prévost, is thought to be in the market looking to raise a
new fund having closed a deal with Coller to go it alone.
