Fast-growing independent player in the French profit-sharing and retirement savings markets
Eres (“the Company”) is a leading French financial technology player in the employee profit-sharing and retirement scheme markets. The Company focuses on the fragmented and high growth small to medium-sized enterprise segment, covering the design, implementation, monitoring and management of savings products. Eres addresses the market both indirectly through a large network of independent distributors and directly for larger clients.
IK Partners acquired a majority stake in Eres from the management team and Parquest Capital in July 2019, before finalising exit to Eurazeo in July 2024.
Our Value Creation Strategy
During our ownership, we worked alongside management to:
- Organically grow the business by expanding distribution network, investing in the IT platform and enhancing user experience;
- Use the diversified distribution network to push additional products in wealth management or insurance; and
- Execute a buy-and-build strategy to expand product offering.
