Eurazeo in Wealth: A Pioneer Still Pushing the Frontier

At IPEM Wealth 2026 in Cannes, Agathe Bubbe, Director of Wealth Solutions at Eurazeo and recipient of the Rising Star of the Year award, shared how the firm has been building for individual investors since 2016 — and why the next chapter is even more ambitious. 

Key takeaways from this interview

01. In Wealth since 2016: Before the crowd arrived
Eurazeo launched its first evergreen structure for individual investors in 2016, long before democratization became the industry's favorite buzzword. That head start translates into operational maturity, distribution relationships, and product depth that newer entrants are still building toward. 

02. Banking Networks are the next growth channel
Eurazeo is deepening its presence in private banking and wealth management networks across Europe. Agathe Bubbe explains how reaching the next generation of investors requires meeting them where they already are, inside the platforms and relationships they already trust. 

We are very proud to be expanding through banking networks. That is where the next generation of investors will access private markets. - Agathe Bubbe, Eurazeo

03. Younger investors are waking up to Private Markets
Demand from younger, digitally-native investors is accelerating. They want access to the same asset classes as institutional portfolios and Eurazeo is positioning its product range to meet that expectation with accessible, well-structured solutions. 

04. Europe is a home market worth fighting for
While global distribution ambitions are real, Agathe Bubbe is clear-eyed about Eurazeo's European roots as a strategic advantage: deep local knowledge, regulatory fluency, and established GP relationships that global platforms simply can't replicate.
