Groupe Premium, a Structuring Player in Wealth Management
Groupe Premium has established itself as one of the leading players in wealth management in France, relying on an integrated platform and a model based on quality advice, client proximity, and operational excellence.
This operation is based on our three fundamental pillars: the preservation of identity, the autonomy of the integrated firm, and the maintenance of the entrepreneurial spirit; it is part of a dynamic of scaling up and territorial reinforcement.
The acquisition of a stake in Familiance constitutes the 30th external growth operation carried out by the group’s CGP division, illustrating the continuity of its strategy and its ability to support entrepreneurial firms in their development.
A New Phase of Development Opens in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region
Lyon, France’s 3rd largest city, is a key territory in Groupe Premium’s development strategy, at the heart of one of France’s main economic hubs, characterized by a true entrepreneurial history. In this context, wealth management issues require structured, long-term support. This relies both on a deep understanding of the local market, embodied by Familiance’s expertise and local roots, and on the power of a leading wealth management platform, Groupe Premium, capable of providing comprehensive solutions and supporting projects in all their dimensions.
Olivier Farouz, Chairman and Founder of Groupe Premium: “This operation marks an important step in Groupe Premium’s trajectory. Our establishment in Lyon reflects a clear objective: to strengthen our presence in major French economic hubs by relying on locally recognized teams. The association with Familiance illustrates our ability to combine the power of a structured wealth management platform with the essential field expertise for long-term advice.”
Rachel de Valicourt, CEO of Premium CGP: “The integration of Familiance into Premium CGP is fully aligned with our strategy: to build a solid, entrepreneurial wealth management division rooted in the regions. Alongside locally recognized teams, we are strengthening our ability to offer long-term wealth management support, combining proximity, expertise, and the power of a structured platform.”
Etienne de Timary, Chairman and Founder of Familiance: “Joining Groupe Premium allows us to open a new phase of development for Familiance, while remaining faithful to our DNA and our advisory approach. We chose Groupe Premium because it has established itself as the most efficient group, driven by sustained internal growth and the independence it grants to each firm that joins it. The group’s support thus gives us the means to accompany our clients over the long term, with expanded solutions, while maintaining the proximity and deep knowledge of the Lyon market that are our strengths.”
