Established in 2010, Committed Advisors is a private investment firm operating globally in the mid-market segment.
It provides liquidity-related solutions to investors and general partners with private equity holdings.
The company has 55 employees, oversees €7.7bn in private assets for external investors, and has carried out more than 250 transactions since it was set up.
The acquisition adds to Wendel’s third-party asset management activities under Wendel Investment Managers.
Wendel is due to acquire the remaining 44% of Committed Advisors’ share capital through further transactions planned for 2029, 2032 and 2035, in line with the terms set out when the deal was first announced.
BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, through its GP Stake investment strategy managed by the Prime unit for a diversified group of investors, has also announced an agreement to buy a 5.9% holding in Committed Advisors from Wendel.
BNPP AM Alts GP stake investments head Gilles Dusaintpère said: “As a minority shareholder, we will accompany Committed Advisors on its next stage of growth, leveraging its key position as a high-quality, leading secondary manager.”
The parties said the investment is linked to BNPP AM Alts’ view of the secondaries market and to the existing relationship between those involved.
A comparable joint transaction was completed in March 2025 with Monroe Capital.
BNPP AM Alts said the latest agreement forms part of the ongoing deployment of its GP Stake strategy by an investment team that currently manages €540m and seeks private market firms for strategic and operational support.
Under the arrangement, Committed Advisors will serve as the secondary market specialist within Wendel Investment Managers, which already includes buyout through IK Partners and private credit through Monroe Capital.
Wendel CEO Laurent Mignon said: “It’s a great privilege for Wendel to partner on the next chapter of Committed Advisors’ growth with such a renowned investor as BNPP AM Alts and its full ecosystem. Their commitment to our business will provide meaningful and stable capital to thoughtfully further scale our platform and better capture the attractive and expanding opportunity in middle market private markets”.
After the transaction, Wendel Investment Managers is expected to oversee more than €49bn in assets under management and produce more than €200m in fee-related earnings on a pro forma basis in 2026 across private equity, private debt and private market solutions.
