Montsegur Finance

What Montsegur Finance does

Montségur Finance is a privately held, Paris-headquartered independent asset management and private wealth management firm founded in 2004 and authorised by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) as a portfolio management company under registration GP-04000044. The firm operates two business divisions: Asset Management, which offers innovative and atypical investment funds built on rigorous processes and aligned with ESG/sustainable investment principles, and Gestion Privée (Private Wealth Management), which delivers personalised advisory services focused on capital preservation and valorisation for private clients.

The firm serves three distinct investor segments through dedicated products: retail investors (Fonds Investisseurs Particuliers), independent financial advisors who distribute the firm's funds (Fonds CGP), and professional investors (Fonds Investisseurs Professionnels). The combined managed and advised assets stand at €850M, served by 11–50 employees and distributed across 500+ private clients. Technology infrastructure centres on Montsegur Connect, a proprietary client portal hosted at odyssee.desisyphe.com, which provides secure access for portfolio viewing and account management.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring management fees on the €850M asset base and advisory fees for private wealth mandates, with a hybrid go-to-market combining direct advisory, the CGP partner network across France, and digital self-service via the Montsegur Connect portal. The firm emphasises 100% independence in decision-making, 20 years of operating history, and a responsible investment philosophy as core differentiators. Operations are limited to France, with no disclosed expansion beyond domestic borders. The senior leadership is led by President François Chaulet.
