About RIVE Private Investment

RIVE Private Investment is a Paris, Geneva and Luxembourg-based infrastructure and impact private equity manager with over €1 billion of assets under management as of December 2024, founded in 2013 by Yann Thomas and Etienne Mouthon. The firm is Article 9 SFDR-classified, distinguishing the platform as one of the strictest sustainability-aligned infrastructure investors in Europe under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation framework.

Investment thesis

RIVE targets European infrastructure assets with explicit impact and sustainability themes, focusing on transportation, energy transition, social infrastructure and selectively digital infrastructure assets generating contracted or regulated cash flows over fifteen to thirty-year horizons. The Article 9 classification requires demonstrable environmental and social impact metrics across portfolio assets, distinguishing RIVE from generalist infrastructure peers. Equity ticket sizes typically range from €30 million to €150 million per transaction.

Recent activity

Recent realised exits include Carbonex (industrials, 2022), reflecting selective distribution activity across the impact infrastructure portfolio. The platform tracks 3 funds and 7 active portfolio assets, with the long-duration infrastructure mandate supporting patient capital deployment aligned with multi-decade asset cycles.
