Compagnie Nationale à Portefeuille /Private Equity/ Compagnie Nationale à Portefeuille /Private Equity/ Investment ManagersFinance NPM/CNP's private equity division manages a portfolio of direct non-consolidated participations. The firm's self-described investment approach as that of a 'professional shareholder', following an entrepreneurial and 'familial' philosophy. Their objective over the long term is the balanced growth of their assets' value and of the dividends distributed to their shareholders, with a limited risk profile. The firm aims for diversification across a limited number of sectors, among which are the agri-food industry (in particular the high-end wine sector), energy, publishing, media, specialized retail and luxury. NPM/CNP invests in unlisted but mature medium-sized companies primarily in continental Europe , and acquires controlling stakes. The firm seeks board representation but does not interfere in daily operations. They focus on financial engineering, key hires and strategic decisions including exit timing. They invest in companies which have grown large enough to be completely autonomous in term of growth management, both organic and external. NPM/CNP does not have any predetermined time constraints on exits. Divestments are opportunistic, guided by return on capital invested. Some portfolio companies constitute very long term investments with no expected exit.	Finance
