Aquasourca

Aquasourca, written Aquasourça on its own site, is a family investment company with permanent capital, active in private equity and real estate. It was founded around twenty years ago, growing out of an investment opportunity in the water sector, from which its name derives; Sophie Defforey founded and structured the company. Its private equity arm runs two small-cap strategies, one general and one sector-focused, taking an entrepreneurial approach to support companies' growth with financial expertise and tailored guidance; the sector-focused strategy currently concentrates on the agri-food industry. Its real estate arm follows two strategies: a value-add approach for property development, and a core and core-plus approach for managing property assets, mainly in France and Europe, with worldwide co-investment. The company says it builds relationships with company leaders based on trust.
