Since 1999, Gimar & Co has advised banks, insurers, asset managers, mutual and paritaire institutions, wealth managers, family offices, and regulated professional firms on the transactions that define their future. With unmatched proximity to regulatory authorities and sector decision-makers, we are among the most active specialist financial sector advisors on the continent.
10 transactions over the past fifteen years involving banks and life insurers, completed in France, Luxembourg, and the Bahamas. Few houses of our standing can point to a record of comparable activity.
Long-standing M&A and fundraising experience on both the buy side and sell side, across banking, wealth management, and insurance.
Rare proximity to regulatory bodies and sector decision-makers, allowing us to anticipate change rather than absorb it.
Direct access to a targeted network of financial investors, specialist funds, family offices, and strategic players active in financial services, insurance, asset management, and fintech.
Strategic counsel for institutions navigating defining moments: consolidation, governance transition, and digital disruption.
A team drawn from leading investment banks. Our expertise is the product of decades of sustained rigour that extends well beyond the scope of any single mandate.
A granular understanding of digital financial services players: the challenges of digital transformation are ones we have lived alongside our clients.
Bespoke solutions for situations that demand them: distressed assets, forced disposals, and complex cross-border structures.
A proven ability to structure and execute transactions in highly regulated environments, where licensing, supervision, governance, and operational continuity are critical considerations.
Credibility established with executives, shareholders, investors, and supervisory authorities, enabling us to secure discussions, align stakeholders, and preserve the confidentiality of proceedings.
A granular, operational understanding of the transformations underway, in particular the growing convergence between financial services, regulated professions, and fintech solutions.
Bespoke solutions for special situations: assets in transition, forced disposals, complex cross-border structures.
