## Eurazeo Maintains Growth Momentum in 2025

Eurazeo, a leading private markets asset manager, has continued to demonstrate its resilience and growth potential, as shown by its strong performance in the first half of 2025. The company's strategic roadmap, designed to drive growth and enhance asset management capabilities, has proven effective in navigating uncertain economic conditions.

One of the key components of Eurazeo's strategy is the expansion of its Assets Under Management (AUM). The firm's AUM increased by 4% to €36.8 billion, with a significant portion coming from third-party investments, which rose by 10% to €27.5 billion.

Eurazeo's success in private equity fundraising was evident in the first half of 2025. The firm raised €1.2 billion in private equity funds, nearly three times the amount raised in the same period last year. Additionally, Eurazeo closed its “EC V” Capital program, exceeding its target with a fund size of €3.0 billion.

The company has also been active in asset rotation and investments, with acquisitions in sectors such as private debt, secondaries, and real estate. Notable acquisitions include Malpa (hospitality software) in Spain, Ekoscan Integrity in France, and Aquardens (Spa & Resorts) in Italy.

Eurazeo has been strengthening its impact platform, notably through the Eurazeo Planetary Boundaries Fund, which aims to roll out environmental solutions to prevent or reverse ecological degradation. The fund completed its first close with €300 million secured.

The strategic roadmap has positively impacted Eurazeo's AUM growth in several ways. The 10% growth in third-party assets indicates increased investor confidence in Eurazeo's investment strategies, contributing significantly to the overall AUM increase. Eurazeo's diversified investments across different sectors and geographies have helped maintain a robust asset base despite challenging market conditions. The successful fundraising efforts, especially in private equity, have provided Eurazeo with substantial resources to pursue strategic investments and further expand its AUM.

Looking ahead, a growth in exits is expected for Eurazeo this year, and several transactions are planned for the second half of the year. Balance sheet realisations have increased for Eurazeo, and share buybacks are scheduled to be accelerated.

However, the 'retailisation' of evergreen funds is raising concerns in the industry. Solid fundraising with institutional and retail clients continues to support asset management growth. Hayfin has entered into a strategic partnership with Mubadala and AXA IM Prime, which could potentially bring new opportunities for growth and collaboration.

Eurazeo's chief executives, Christophe Bavière and William Kadouch-Chassaing, stated that the company is continuing to implement its strategic roadmap in a more uncertain economic environment. The firm remains committed to its mission of creating long-term value for its clients and shareholders.

In line with Eurazeo's strategic roadmap, the firm has demonstrated growth in its AUM by 4% to €36.8 billion, with a substantial increase in third-party investments, a testament to investor confidence in Eurazeo's business and investing strategies. Significant fundraising efforts in private equity have provided Eurazeo with substantial resources for strategic investments, further enhancing its financial capabilities in the business sector.
