A WORD FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
“Crystal celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022 and has just passed the €300M turnover mark with a total of €27 billion euros in assets managed. Recent external growth operations, including the incorporation of the Primonial distribution activities into the Group, confirm our ability to attract and strengthen our position as market leaders for our direct and intermediate client bases.
We are also very proud to count Goldman Sachs Alternatives, via the West Street Capital Partners investment fund, amongst our reference capital shareholders. They actively support the national and international development of our Group. Our private or AMC clients can therefore benefit from a constantly evolving range of major digital and AI technology investment opportunities as well as many others proposed by top market experts able to support them in their professional and private asset management.”
