Eres

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.
