Message from Béatrice Philippe
- The management of institutional and family assets, combined with a professional approach, bicultural American and European.
- A 75-year commitment to independence.
- An investment philosophy that is long-term oriented, based on the intrinsic value of companies, not on the short-term movements of stock markets.
- A global approach identifying growth themes around the world.
These are the principles that have guided our company since its founding in 1931 by my grandfather, Raymond Philippe, former Managing Partner of Lazard Frères.
From the end of World War II until 1986, the firm was led by my father, Pierre Philippe. Today, we remain committed to serving the global equity management needs of families and institutions that seek to benefit from our fundamental approach.
In the last few years, in order to broaden our offerings, I have established a strategic partnership with a long time friend, well recognized investment manager, who share our investment philosophy: Garnett Keith in the United States for his "Yield-Growth" strategy and for U.S. equities.
Management’s significant financial investment in the firm, and in our funds, assures an alignment of interests with our clients and preserves our strong business culture.
Over the years our firm has successfully survived wars, stock market crashes and economic crises - these experiences have strengthened us and reinforced the thoughtful and long-term focus of our investment strategy.
Thank you for your confidence.
Béatrice Philippe
President
