As a private company managing mid-market capital investments worth over \u20ac450 million, Ab\u00e9nex Capital continues to show resilience during the economy\u2019s recent lacklustre performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fully approved by the Autorit\u00e9 des March\u00e9s Financiers (AMF), France\u2019s capital markets regulator, Ab\u00e9nex Capital erected an independent structure proving support for unlisted companies. With five main sectors of investment \u2013 retail &amp; consumer goods, industries &amp; construction, business services, health, and technology \u2013 the company employs an extensive team of talented and widely experienced financial associates to encourage growth wherever they invest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ab\u00e9nex Capital is a testament to good business and smart investment principles. Since 2000, the team has made 110 acquisitions, investing \u20ac900 million in long-term growth and optimisation projects, as well as management teams. This includes mid-market business coaching through the acquisition of both minority and majority stakes \u2013 investing \u20ac10 million in companies valued between \u20ac30-500 million. It takes more than a sole financial investment to grow an SME into a global entity: it takes the veteran knowhow of internationally experienced stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ab\u00e9nex Capital is currently the number one company in France in aiding global growth to mid-market companies \u2013 and that is largely due to the team of financial gurus behind the company\u2019s direct investments. The team boasts extensive experience in the financial management of SME\u2019s, as well as working with the global elite such as IBM, Goldman Sachs, The Deloitte Group, and Orange.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With an impressive portfolio of acquisitions, Ab\u00e9nex Capital has managed to obtain stellar results even in adverse market conditions, and is set to maintain its performance with two additional acquisitions already scheduled for 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With its longevity in the market, a renowned management team, and long-term focus, the CFI.co judging panel finds the Ab\u00e9nex Capital team peerless in France and beyond and a worthy winner of the 2016 Best Mid-Market Direct Investments Team Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ab\u00e9nex Capital is a household name for the financially initiated in France \u2013 and for good reason.
