What Jasmin Capital does

Jasmin Capital is a privately held French financial advisory firm headquartered in Paris (18 avenue de Messine, 75008) with a second office in Brussels. Founded in 2011 by Jean-Christel Trabarel, the firm specializes in private markets advisory across private equity, infrastructure, and private debt asset classes. It serves two primary client sets: General Partners (GPs) seeking capital-raise support and secondary transaction execution, and Limited Partners (LPs), family offices, and institutional investors seeking strategic private-market allocation advisory and liquidity solutions.

The firm operates as a placement agent, secondary transactions advisor, co-investment syndicator, marketing/corporate-image consultant, and merger advisor to asset management companies. Core service lines cover fund mandates ranging from €100M to several billion euros, and secondary portfolio valuations from a few million to several hundred million euros. The firm is regulated as a Conseil en Investissement Financier via ANACOFI-CIF (E002432), registered with ORIAS (13000792), and is regulated in Canada while operating in the US, Japan, and South Korea under chaperoning agreements. Thought-leadership assets include the Jasmin Secondaries Index, the Planète PE podcast, 13 editions of a newsletter series, and white papers on continuation funds and secondary market trends.

Jasmin Capital generates revenue through retrocession commissions from fund management companies, ranging from 33% to 120% of one year of management fees on funds subscribed by clients it introduces, with no entry or exit charges collected from subscribers. The 20-person international team (8 nationalities) is supported by an ownership structure of founder-led private SAS with €420,000 share capital, no external PE/VC backing, and a recently formed (March 2026) strategic partnership with Edmond de Rothschild Corporate Finance focused on continuation vehicles.
