ADVISORY - METHOD
THE ENGAGEMENT SEQUENCE
1. First meeting
Confidential, without obligation. We identify together the nature of the matter, the client's expectations, the horizon of the engagement, and the coordination with existing advisors.
2. Collection review
Mapping of the works, valuation at market, documentary analysis, identification of priority matters. Deliverable issued within three to six weeks.
3. Recommendation
A prioritised recommendation: strategic direction, priority arbitrage, suitable legal structuring, operations calendar. Discussed, adjusted, validated.
4. Execution
Conduct of the validated operations — acquisitions, sales, legal structuring, patronage, institutional deposits — in permanent coordination with the client's usual advisors.
5. Ongoing management
An annual mandate for clients who wish it. This now covers the majority of the collections we advise.
THE ENGAGEMENT SEQUENCE
Our remuneration is defined at the outset of each engagement, contractually, and disclosed to the client within a clear framework. The terms vary according to the nature of the work and the horizon of the relationship.
Fixed engagement fee
For collection reviews, expert reports, and one-off structuring or strategy engagements. Agreed before work begins.
Annual mandate
For the ongoing management of a collection. A fixed retainer, where applicable supplemented by a commission on the operations conducted during the year.
Transaction-based fees
For acquisition or sale operations, established in line with market standards — as a commission on the value of the operation or, in certain configurations, a share of the gains realised. Agreed at the outset of the engagement.
CONTRACTUAL TRANSPARENCY
Our remuneration terms are contractual and agreed at the outset. The client retains, at all times, full visibility on what they pay and on the basis of calculation applied. Our independence rests not on a general claim but on a precise contractual framework, defined operation by operation.
