Unlike many private equity and investment funds or family holding companies which have experienced large losses and capital drain from the current unprecedented financial and economic crisis, Jaccar’s portfolio has suffered relatively little and even seem rather well poised to fully benefit from the rising post-crisis recovery, always able to seek out the most promising markets in terms of growth prospects. 

In 2009, the private equity market experienced a sharp decline both in terms of fundraising and investments in France just like in the rest of the world. This over 70% drop can be accounted for by the lack of interest from high net worth individuals and family offices, as well as from institutional investors. It is also worthy to note that a number of historically successful investment funds have cut back their level of commitments.
