CAURIS MANAGEMENT SIGNS A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH BRVM

Cauris Management, signs a partnership agreement with the Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières (BRVM), which will enable the two institutions to pool their experience and synergize their skills in financing SMEs and companies with high growth potential, and in creating the new compartment dedicated to SMEs. Indeed, access to finance remains a real challenge for WAEMU SMEs.

Commenting on the signing ceremony, Yawo Noël Z. Eklo, CEO of Cauris Management, said that “contrary to some of the ideas conveyed, the stock exchange is a platform on which private equity funds can sell portfolio securities while achieving good profitability. The statistics show that the stock market listings made in recent years have been subscribed and that investment funds have made good multiples of investments “.

Cauris Management, one of the first West African private equity fund management companies, has been active for more than 18 years in Côte d’ Ivoire and other West African countries. It provides equity and quasi-equity capital to SMEs in the creation or development stage through various financial instruments, notably shares, convertible bonds, shareholders’ current accounts, etc. Among the shareholders of funds under management are prestigious investors such as international and regional institutions such as BOAD, Proparco, Oiko Credit, IFC, AfDB, CDC, CDC, FMO, BIO, EIB, sub-regional commercial banks such as BOA, BACI, CBAO, BTD and insurance companies such as GTA-C2A and COLINA.
