ID Groupe (Groupe Premium) announces the integration of Sefima (Groupe Premium), a wealth management firm historically based in Marseille. This operation is part of ID Groupe’s rapid growth trajectory, which will soon reach one billion euros in assets under management.
It also marks a new stage in the group’s development, founded on a strong conviction: to grow from local regions, with locally established players who are as close as possible to clients’ needs.
Laurent Bordes, a former professional athlete and founding partner of ID Groupe, will take over the management of Sefima. The existing teams will continue to provide comprehensive client follow-up and support. This strategic alliance ensures lasting continuity, strengthens local ties, and offers Sefima the opportunity to enter a new dynamic.
ID Groupe: a human-sized group, founded by a former chartered accountant and two professional athletes, built on proximity
Founded in 2004 in La Rochelle, ID Groupe was built around strong values: high standards, commitment, self-transcendence, and team spirit.
ID Groupe initially developed by serving private clients seeking support in managing and optimizing their assets. Over the years, the company expanded its expertise to become a benchmark in 360° wealth advisory. This strategic choice was reinforced by Renaud Rolain, a former chartered accountant and founding partner who centers his analytical approach around professionals, executives, leaders, and businesses.
Benjamin Ferrou, a former professional rugby player and founding partner, drew inspiration from these strong values during his career change. Rigor, solidarity, and performance are the foundation of ID Groupe and shape their vision of wealth management consulting, where trust, strategy, and long-term support play a central role.
This complementary partnership allows for a comprehensive and personalized global approach for everyone.
The original philosophy remains intact: to offer personalized, accessible advice delivered by teams that prioritize contact and proximity in their client approach and case management.
Its development accelerated in 2023 with its integration into Groupe Premium’s wealth management division, driven, among other factors, by sustained organic growth and targeted integrations, including that of Sefima.
Sefima & Marseille: a historic foothold, serving an entire region
With Sefima, ID Groupe strengthens its presence in the Southeast and pursues its ambition: to become the benchmark wealth partner for families, entrepreneurs, liberal professions, and professional sports figures.
In a changing market where models tend to standardize, ID Groupe and all its partners are taking the opposite approach: focusing on embodied advice, proximity, and in-depth knowledge of life paths.
