LBP AM announces multiple recruitments aimed at expanding its Real and Private Assets division

A renowned industry player with nearly €7bn in funds raised since its inception in 2012, the Real and Private Assets division of La Banque Postale Asset Management (LBP AM), a subsidiary of La Banque Postale, is expanding and thus announces multiple recruitments to support the development of its private debt range.

Boasting a staff of 18 professionals, LBP AM’s Real and Private Assets division offers three European senior debt investment strategies (Infrastructure, Real Estate and Corporate Debt). Dedicated to institutional investors, the proposed strategies (18 multi-investor and dedicated funds totalling €4.1bn) stand out for their high selectivity and strong ESG approach, in line with La Banque Postale’s commitment to promoting sustainable finance.

This commitment has been implemented through current fund-raising operations, classified under Article 9 of the SFDR, with one positive-impact Infrastructure Debt fund focused on the energy transition and one Corporate Debt fund extensively rooted in the French regions.

LBP AM’s Real and Private Assets division is welcoming multiple new employees in each area of expertise on its portfolio management team:

• Infrastructure Debt, headed by Bérénice Arbona: Jean-Marie Tassel and Nicolo Tito.
• Corporate Debt, head by Isabelle Luy-Landès: Frédéric Homs.
• Real Estate Debt, headed by Pierre Saeli: Bruno Rodrigues Saco.

This pan-European network of professionals now comprises 18 specialists, averaging 16 years of experience. Lastly, Vincent Cornet, responsible for creating this division of expertise in 2012 and Head of Asset Management for LBP AM, will be taking charge of the division after the departure of René Kassis, with the help of Pierre Bonnet, COO Real and Private Assets.

“Already recognised for our track record and robust structuring and origination capability, these new arrivals will help us remain on the forefront of energy transition finance and regional development,” explains Vincent Cornet, Head of Asset Management for LBP AM.
