About Trajan Investment Advisor
Trajan Investment Advisor is a Paris-based independent private equity firm founded in 2018 by Thomas Duteil and Tanguy Tauzinat (both ex-Andera Partners directors), with €410 million of assets under management. The platform deploys across the Transmission and Croissance 1 FPCI (vintage 2021, €110M) and the Transmission and Croissance 2 FPCI plus complementary vehicles, focusing on French SME transmission scenarios with senior team operational expertise from prior Andera leadership.
Investment thesis
Trajan targets French SMEs and lower mid-cap companies, particularly in transmission scenarios where founder-operator succession requires institutional capital deployment alongside operational partnership. Equity ticket sizes typically range from €10 million to €30 million per transaction. The founders' Andera Partners heritage provides multi-decade French mid-market relationships and pattern recognition across multiple SME ownership cycles.
Recent activity
Recent realised exits include Rollakin (industrials, 2025) and Airess (industrials, 2024), reflecting selective distribution across the industrial transmission portfolio. The platform tracks 2 funds and 8 active portfolio companies across the multi-vintage French SME transmission programme. Detailed buyer names and multiple data available on Pro at €29/month.
