We bring a valuable combination of Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity know-how to the fundraisings and secondary transfers we advise on.
Experience
François Roux has successfully executed several significant primary and secondary assignments with high-profile European funds and investors since he created Roux Capital in 2008. Prior to creating his own firm, he was a Partner at SG Private Equity for eight years, where he co-managed a €150m growth capital fund and participated in the launch of the bank's Fund of Funds activity. He previously served in M&A at Societe Generale for 7 years and has other work experience in M&A at NM Rothschild & Sons and Sales & Marketing at Digital Equipment Corporation.

We serve demanding Limited Partners and General Partners looking for independent expert advice and reliable execution capacity.
Focus on Private Equity
Private Equity Advisory is our only business. We know how to fundraise and run a secondary transaction in the current market environment. We have the right experience, structure and mindset.
Senior level commitment
Our assignments are executed exclusively at the senior partner level. We shy away from junior execution, standardised solutions and large-scale mechanisms.
Compliance
Roux Capital is a corporate finance advisory firm (Conseil en Finance d’Entreprises) and a member of ANACOFI (Association Nationale des Conseillers Financiers), the French association of financial advisers. Roux Capital does not provide investment advice to retail clients.
Well targeted access to investors
We work with the most active investors. But in most assignments, we reach beyond the obvious choices and target lesser-known investors with proven investment capacity.
Independence
Roux Capital is independent and conflict-free. We do not have any capital links or strategic agreements with banks, financial institutions, investors, fund managers or intermediaries.
Market references
We have a significant track record and corresponding market references. Contact us to verify them on an anonymous and confidential basis.
We rely on a well-established set of business principles. We expect our business partners to do the same.
Interest alignment
We are small, compared with the parties to our assignments. Our only way to succeed in this concentrated environment is to consistently serve our clients’ best interests.
Hard work
We are always available. We believe in hard work. We know that if we focus on the quality of our work, our financial success will follow naturally.
Curiosity
We rely on creativity and imagination to solve complex situations. We ask questions again when we do not understand.
Reputation
We have experience, energy and reputation. The latter takes the longest to build and the fastest to vanish. If it vanishes, the other two become useless. We strive to maintain our reputation.
Loyalty
We act in a loyal and reliable manner, and expect our business partners to do so.
Confidentiality
Our assignments are never publicised on our own initiative.
