The Rhetores Group pursues its external growth momentum and announces the acquisitions of Couleur Capital and H.A. Conseils, two independent firms based in Lyon. These operations mark a new milestone for the Group, which is now expanding its reach into the Rhône-Alpes region, a high-potential area.
Founded in 2005 by Alain Azeroual and in 2011 by Christine Picasso and Thierry Pujervie respectively, H.A. Conseils and Couleur Capital quickly built a strong regional client base, thanks to their reputation and the lasting confidence they inspired among their clients.
This double acquisition, following the takeovers of Athos Patrimoine and OPP, strengthens Rhétores’ ability to offer a premium wealth management service across the entire country. By integrating firms with strong regional identities, the Group continues to pursue its goal of building a nationwide network of excellence.
Christine Picasso and Thierry Pujervie, co-founders of Couleur Capital, stated:
“Joining Rhétores allows us to take part in an ambitious project while remaining true to the spirit of Couleur Capital, which has earned our clients’ satisfaction.”
Alain Azeroual, founder of H.A. Conseils, said:
“The complementarity of our expertise and the strong human values of the Rhétores team convinced me that this was the right choice for H.A. Conseils.”
Stéphane Rudzinski and Grégory Soudjoukdjian, President and CEO of Rhétorès, commented:
“This partnership with Couleur Capital and H.A. Conseils strengthens our regional presence and drives our continued expansion. The complementarity of our expertise is a real strength, adding depth and value to the services we provide to our clients.”
Christophe Parier and Alexandre Masson, Managing Partners at Activa, concluded:
“This transaction confirms the attractiveness of the Rhétores project and its ability to bring together leading professionals. We are confident that this new milestone will help strengthen a solid, sustainable, and ambitious growth trajectory.”
