Degroux Brugère helps Rhétorès finance its acquisition of Segep Finance

Rhétorès continues its external growth dynamic and strengthens its regional roots with the acquisition of Segep Finance, specialized in wealth management in Alsace. This sixth acquisition since Activa’s investment in 2022 marks a new strategic chapter for the group, which now extends its field of action to the high-potential Grand Est region.

Following the acquisition of Profil Finance last July and the symbolic milestone of one billion euros in assets under management, Rhétorès reaffirms its ambition to become a major player in the French wealth management market.

Founded in Strasbourg in 2001 by Michel Seybel and Christophe Prim, Segep Finance is a recognized player in the Grand Est region for its expertise in wealth engineering and its personalized approach to serving high-end customers. As part of this transaction, the founders will contribute their expertise and experience to support the group’s development.

Transaction partner Augustin Fleytoux and associate Emilie Phalier advised Rhétorès on the financing of this acquisition.
