What Our Investors Say

Professional investors who entrust their capital to CAPITAL EXPORT consistently highlight our transparency, responsiveness, and the quality of our investment process. Here is what a selection of our clients have shared about their experience working with our team in Lyon and Paris.


"CAPITAL EXPORT has been managing our FPCI allocation for several years and the level of transparency in their reporting is genuinely exceptional. Every quarter we receive a detailed breakdown of portfolio performance alongside ESG metrics that we can share directly with our own stakeholders. The Investment Committee process is rigorous and clearly documented, which gives us real confidence in how decisions are made. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any professional investor seeking a disciplined private equity partner."

— Frédéric Montalbano

★★★★★

"What sets CAPITAL EXPORT apart is the quality of their team and their genuine commitment to long-term value creation rather than short-term gains. When one of the portfolio companies we co-invested in faced unexpected operational challenges, the CAPITAL EXPORT team was actively involved in finding solutions rather than simply observing. Their international network proved invaluable in opening doors to new commercial partnerships. It is a firm that truly acts as a partner, not just a manager."

— Isabelle Durand-Beaulieu

★★★★★

"I have worked with several private equity managers in France and CAPITAL EXPORT stands out for the clarity and speed of their communication. When I submitted a formal request for information on their conflict-of-interest policy, I received a comprehensive, clearly written document within 48 hours. Their governance standards are notably higher than what I have encountered elsewhere in the market. The Lyon and Paris teams work in seamless coordination, which makes the investor experience consistent regardless of which office you deal with."

★★★★★

"Our family office has been invested through a CAPITAL EXPORT FPCI for three years and the results have been in line with the projections presented at inception. Beyond performance, what has impressed us most is their approach to ESG — it is clearly embedded in their process rather than added as an afterthought. The annual ESG questionnaire for portfolio companies and the subsequent reporting demonstrate a real commitment to responsible investing. We plan to increase our allocation in the next vintage."

— Marguerite Lefèvre

★★★★☆

"CAPITAL EXPORT managed a co-investment transaction for our institution that involved significant cross-border complexity. Their team navigated the regulatory and currency risk dimensions with expertise and kept us informed at every stage of the process. The exit was executed efficiently and delivered returns that exceeded our initial expectations. I have since recommended CAPITAL EXPORT to two colleagues who are now also invested through their funds."
