Groupe Premium has announced a new strategic step in its development by acquiring a majority interest in Familiance, a wealth management and family office firm based in Lyon. This move marks the group’s first foothold in the Lyon metropolitan area and reinforces the expansion of its CGP business in France.
After closing a transaction in Italy at the end of last year, Groupe Premium continues to execute its European growth strategy by partnering with established local players. The investment in Familiance reflects the group’s intention to expand regionally while relying on firms with strong entrepreneurial DNA and deep local expertise.
Familiance has built a solid reputation for its tailored advisory approach, long-term client relationships and recognised know-how in wealth structuring and family office services. By joining forces, the two organisations aim to combine local proximity with the scale and resources of a growing wealth management platform, without compromising the independence or identity of the firm.
The integration of Familiance supports Groupe Premium’s broader objective of developing robust regional hubs and offering long-term support to private clients with demanding wealth needs. Etienne de Timary and his teams will continue to lead the firm as part of Groupe Premium’s ecosystem.
This transaction confirms Groupe Premium’s ambition to pursue sustainable growth and to strengthen its position as a key player in wealth management, both in France and across Europe.
