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.

Bpifrance invests in Yousign, via its Digital Venture fund, to support the deployment of a sovereign European electronic signature platform.
The Banque Publique d’Investissement will enable Yousign to strengthen its position as European leader in electronic signatures, by offering a solution that complies with the most stringent security standards and regulations in each country, and by accelerating its roll-out to a wider range of companies.
Yousign is the only eIDAS-certified European player of sufficient scale to meet this need and to guarantee, beyond the compliance of their agreements, sovereign processing of their strategic data. In addition, the French operator aims to cover the entire contract dematerialization chain by 2025. Yousign will reach profitability in the same year.
Jérémie Swiecznik, partner in the Transaction Department, Benoît Courtet, counsel, and Maxim Khlopotin, associate, advised Bpifrance on this transaction.

Thanks to this €6 million round of funding from Ring Capital, FJ Labs, Acurio and 50 Partners, the startup is strengthening its leading position on the French market and promoting the adoption of second-hand products in the catering sector. This financing should also enable the company to expand its platform and amplify its ecological impact in France.
