R Capital Management becomes Keensight Capital
R Capital Management, a subsidiary of the Rothschild group, has become over the past ten years one of
the leading European players in the Growth Equity space. The team, led by Jean-Michel Beghin, Jérôme
Pujol and Pierre Rémy, is today becoming independent under the name Keensight Capital.
The Keensight Capital team will execute the same strategy it has pursued with success throughout the
years and will continue helping entrepreneurs to implement their growth strategies. Since its creation 15
years ago, the team has invested in 35 companies and carried out 25 exits.
With professionals combining both a strong investment expertise and a wide operational experience,
Keensight Capital’s team works closely with managers on the development and execution of their growth
strategies. The team is particularly well-recognized for its deep knowledge in the following sectors:
Internet/Media, Information Technology, Healthcare, Energy and Services. Keensight Capital’s team
targets fast-growing profitable companies all over Europe that generate between 10 million and 150
million euros of revenue.
The team can take either minority or majority shareholder positions, with or without leverage, with a
flexible approach adapted to the needs of each company, in order to finance organic growth projects,
acquisition strategies or to offer liquidity to current shareholders.
Jean-Michel Beghin stated:
“Our main goal has always been to support entrepreneurs in their pursuit of business growth by providing
them with significant flexibility in the way they carry out their projects. Our decision to become fully
independent is consistent with our entrepreneurial culture. We are very happy that our investors have
decided to follow us in this transition, with first and foremost the Rothschild group, whom we thank. Our
team has access to a wide international network of managers and is well-positioned to take up the very
best opportunities in fast growing European companies.”
