IDI SCA is a publicly traded private equity and investment firm headquartered in Paris, France. The company's business model centers on providing growth capital, executing leveraged buyouts (LBOs), and offering mezzanine financing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). IDI primarily focuses its investments within France and other developed European markets. Unlike traditional asset managers that solely manage third-party funds, IDI invests its own balance sheet capital across a diverse portfolio of direct investments and fund-of-funds. The firm's direct investment strategy targets companies with strong growth potential, taking significant minority or majority stakes to actively support their development. In addition to direct equity investments, IDI engages in secondary private equity portfolios, co-investments in pre-IPO financing, and discounted LBO loans. The company generates revenue primarily through capital gains on the successful exit of its portfolio companies, as well as through dividends and interest income from its investments. By leveraging its long-standing expertise and flexible investment mandate, IDI maintains a competitive position in the European middle-market private equity landscape.
