What Gestion de Fortune does

Gestion de Fortune is a French B2B media company serving wealth management and private finance professionals, founded in 1990 and operating from Paris (88 boulevard de la Villette, 75019) under the legal entity Les Editions de Verneuil, a subsidiary of Groupe Ficade. The company publishes a monthly print and digital magazine (current issue N°381) covering six verticals: asset management, life insurance, real estate, private equity, banking/CGP, and tax/law. Its product portfolio includes the SMART PATRIMOINE weekly video program (co-produced with B Smart TV and distributed on YouTube), La Matinale video broadcast hosted by Fabrice Cousté, the Carnet des professionnels directory (106 registered firms), and a weekly email newsletter. The company also organizes and partners on six annual industry events including Les Globes de la Gestion, Palmarès des Fournisseurs, Oscars de l'Assurance Vie, Grand Forum du Patrimoine, Patrimonia, and Les Victoires de la Pierre.

The business model is multi-stream B2B media monetization: recurring magazine subscriptions and individual issue sales (kiosque.ficade.fr), digital advertising and sponsored content on its website, event sponsorship and attendance fees, and newsletter-driven audience engagement. The platform targets two principal customer groups: buy-side professionals (independent CGPs, family offices, private bankers) who consume editorial content for market intelligence, and sell-side institutions (asset managers, insurers, banks) that advertise, sponsor events, and license visibility to that professional audience. Distribution combines a print magazine, daily-updated website (1,748 video assets), YouTube, LinkedIn, email newsletter, and in-person events across France and Belgium. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figures, funding history, or AI/ML capabilities are reported.
