Exclusive interview with CFI’s Chairman Jean-Marc Teurquetil

CFI’s Chairman Jean-Marc Teurquetil was interviewed by Agathe Zilber from CFNEWS (Corporate Finance News) about CFI’s business strategy and international growth during a conversation held at IPEM (English subtitles).

The 3 day IPEM event in Cannes, January 2024, hosted 3,000 delegates from many French and other international LPs and GPs. CFI was present to discuss potential investment opportunities with the many PE houses present.

“The year 2024 will be more favourable for primary deals and carve outs”, Jean-Marc Teurquetil commented, “while certain market segments (LBOs, tech) are under pressure due to high interest rates”.

During the interview he further discussed:

– The presentation of CFI group

– Current M&A activity in the mid-market within France and beyond

– CFI’s accelerating global presence, and expanding footprint in the Asian market

– An analysis of the international economic landscape and market trends likely to shape the year ahead.
