Viel & Cie SA is a Paris-based investment holding company that strategically invests in and operates financial services businesses. The company's operations are divided into three main segments. The vast majority of its consolidated revenue (approximately 94%) is generated by its Professional Intermediation segment through a controlling stake in Compagnie Financière Tradition (CFT). CFT is one of the world's largest interdealer brokers, facilitating transactions between financial institutions across money markets, interest rate and currency derivatives, equities, bonds, and commodities in over 30 countries. The Online Broking segment (approximately 6% of revenue) operates through a controlling interest in Bourse Direct, which provides online trading and financial services to retail investors in France. Additionally, Viel & Cie holds a 40% equity-accounted stake in SwissLife Banque Privée, which provides private banking and wealth management services. Geographically, the company generates roughly half of its revenue in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, with the remainder split between the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
