About Boussard & Gavaudan Gestion

Boussard & Gavaudan Gestion was founded by investment professionals with deep roots in European credit, equity derivatives, and event-driven strategies, bringing together a team that has collectively navigated multiple market cycles across varying economic regimes. The firm was built on the conviction that enduring investment performance requires intellectual independence, analytical rigour, and a culture that prizes long-term thinking over short-term flows. Over the years, we have refined our investment processes through practical experience in some of the most complex and illiquid corners of the financial markets. Our approach to special situations is grounded in fundamental research rather than technical signals, allowing us to engage with companies at inflection points where value creation is tangible and demonstrable. In private debt, we act as a genuine financing partner to management teams, structuring solutions that balance yield, security, and flexibility in ways that conventional lenders cannot. Our arbitrage and derivatives capabilities were developed by practitioners with trading-floor experience at leading European investment banks, lending our strategies a practical edge that purely academic models lack. The firm operates with a flat management structure that ensures senior investment professionals remain actively involved in every material decision — there is no delegation of conviction. We are regulated in accordance with applicable European asset management directives and hold ourselves to the highest standards of governance, reporting, and client communication. Boussard & Gavaudan Gestion remains an independent firm, free from the conflicts of interest that often arise within larger financial conglomerates. Our mission is straightforward: to generate consistent, risk-adjusted returns for our clients through strategies that are genuinely differentiated and defensibly constructed.
