Bridgepoint has entered exclusive negotiations to acquire a majority stake in Finzzle Groupe, a leading French wealth management platform with €2.8bn in assets under management.

The deal, backed by Bridgepoint Development Capital V, is expected to close in autumn 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

Finzzle’s founder and current management will remain significant shareholders post-transaction, ensuring continuity in leadership and strategy. The partnership aims to scale the firm’s operations, support international expansion, and solidify its market position as a benchmark wealth manager in France.

Founded in 1992, Finzzle operates a hybrid model combining an entrepreneurial consultant network with robust back-office infrastructure. Its ecosystem includes over 3,300 independent wealth consultants and 330 employees supporting product development, operations, and client services.

The firm has built a reputation for democratising access to wealth advisory services. Its platform offers certified training, personalised support, and technology-driven tools to help advisers grow their practices. The strategy is rooted in providing investors with customised, high-quality financial advice to build, protect, and transfer wealth.

Bridgepoint brings extensive experience scaling asset and wealth management businesses. The acquisition is expected to accelerate Finzzle’s growth, enhance institutional capabilities, and open new avenues for M&A.

“Finzzle Groupe is a pioneering player with a unique proposition in the wealth management market,” said Bertrand Demesse, Partner at Bridgepoint. “We are delighted to be supporting the group and its teams in their next phase of development.”

Xavier Chausson, Finzzle’s founder, will transition to Chairman of the Supervisory Board, with long-time executive Philippe Lauzeral assuming operational leadership as Managing Director.
