How this figure is calculated

Uncalled commitments are not borrowings: they are amounts the company has promised to its funds, which the funds draw as they invest. They are therefore not counted in the share financed by borrowing.

It divides net debt, after cash, by the value of the assets, rather than gross borrowings by gross assets: that is why it differs from the share above.

These borrowings are the investment company's own — the ones its published bridge to net asset value deducts. They cover the same perimeter as the gross assets the chart divides, so the share above really does measure how much of those assets is debt-financed.

Method and sources

Each panel carries its own scale: lengths compare within a panel, never from one panel to the next.

A return is never converted from one currency to another: that would take the exchange rate move over the whole period, not the rate on one reporting date. The company's series are served in the issuer's currency only.

Every company covered is compared with the same benchmark, never with the index their own manager picked: a manager who picks his index also picks the bar he had to clear. This benchmark is not the MSCI ACWI itself, which belongs to MSCI and may not be redistributed. It is the median, recomputed by Opulion, of the net asset values published by three ETFs from three different managers tracking that index: iShares (IE00B6R52259), State Street SPDR (IE00B44Z5B48) and Amundi (LU1829220133). A single fund is never served on its own. Convention: last net asset value on a date at or before the reporting date, within a seven calendar day window; geometric annualisation over the nominal horizon; conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of the day of the net asset value actually retained, a cross rate being an Opulion computation that is declared as such. The recomputation reproduces the performance each manager publishes for its own fund, to the second decimal, fifteen times out of twenty, and never departs from it by more than 0.04 point. Funds used: BlackRock, State Street and Amundi.

Converted at the reference rate of Jun 30, 2026, published by the European Central Bank.

Getting to know Sofina

Each answer links to its source.

  1. Who decides?

    Three companies led by Union Financière Boël, bound by a concert agreement, meaning they vote together. They hold 54.6 % of the capital, more than half: no general meeting resolution passes without them.

  2. What does it own?

    Two pockets of similar size, almost entirely unlisted. Directly, 5 862 M € of stakes, including ByteDance, the Chinese internet group and its largest position, and the Cognita private school network. Then 5 969 M € in venture capital funds run by third parties.

    Source of card 2: sofinagroup.com, opens in a new tab
  3. How does it choose its investments?

    It stays a minority shareholder and usually seeks a board seat. It looks for a proven business model, "a closely held and aligned shareholder base" and founders still at work. Its permanent capital, with no maturity date, lets it hold for a long time.

  4. How does it make money?

    When its holdings grow in value. Its portfolio is revalued every six months at fair value, the price a buyer would pay: up 8.1 % over the last half-year. The gain is cashed in on a sale, as with Salto, whose disposal has been signed.

    Source of card 4: sofinagroup.com, opens in a new tab
  5. How are shareholders paid?

    Through a dividend, 3.66 € gross per share for the last financial year, which the company describes as stable and regularly raised for decades. Its share buyback programmes serve to cover the stock options granted to its staff.

    Source of card 5: sofinagroup.com, opens in a new tab
  6. What sets it apart

    It also invests as a fund subscriber: since the late seventies, it has entrusted money to venture capital funds run by other managers. This lasting tie lets it co-invest, taking direct stakes alongside those managers in the companies their funds back.
