Groupe GTI

What Groupe GTI does

Groupe GTI is a Paris-headquartered, AMF-regulated asset management firm (legal entity GTI Asset Management SA, share capital €800,000) that has specialized in asset-backed financing and securitization since its founding in December 1989 by Richard Weiss. Operating exclusively with professional clients under the MiFID directive, the firm structures, arranges, and manages securitization transactions on behalf of large corporates (including Alstom, Ford, CMA-CGM, Société Générale, Crédit Foncier, and Caceis), SMEs/PMEs, Fintechs, financial institutions, and local authorities. The Group reports 40 funds launched and €18 billion of cumulative assets managed since inception with 7 client-facing professionals, a one-stop-shop model spanning deal design, vehicle selection (OF/OFS/FPS), investor pre-selection, modeling, structuring, contract drafting, and ongoing fund administration/reporting. Since a 2000 management buyout the firm has been fully management-owned and independent of any banking or insurance group, and it holds a regulatory authorization from the AMF (n° GP-12000027, 27 September 2012).

The Group operates through two principal entities. GTI AM generates fund management fees on ongoing administration, receivables monitoring, cash distribution, and regulatory/investor reporting, plus transaction-based arrangement fees for deal design, structuring, and investor documentation, and advisory fees for asset-backed financing consulting. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Credatech, established in 2004 after the purchase of a debt-collection software package, extends the platform into B2B software services for fund custodians, offering automated portfolio control (ACDC) and asset verification (AVS) tools that help custodians meet AMF obligations. The 2014 launch of what the firm describes as the first web-based securitization platform for SMEs marked its principal product-side expansion, opening the addressable market below the large-corporate tier. Distribution is direct B2B, supported by French financial press coverage (L'Agefi, Revue Banque, DafMag), with no public pricing disclosed and no consumer-facing channels.

• Natixis Investment Managers: Large French asset management platform affiliated with Groupe BPCE, offering structured credit, CLOs, and alternative fixed income — a much larger incumbent operating in the same securitization and structured finance space as GTI.
