Profile

Sofindev was founded by Sofina and Colruyt in 1991 and is therefore one of the oldest independent private equity funds in Belgium. Since 1991, the Sofindev shareholders have invested more than 150 MEUR through 3 funds: Sofindev I, Sofindev II (°2002) and Sofindev III (°2006) in more than 40 Belgian companies. In May 2015, a new Sofindev fund, Sofindev IV, has been created.





Sofina and Colruyt, the founders of Sofindev, have been the cornerstone investors in Sofindev funds for more than 25 years. Both companies are listed on Euronext Brussels. Sofina is a Belgian listed financial holding company with the Boël family as reference shareholder. Colruyt Group is one of the largest food retail groups in Belgium, with the Colruyt family as reference shareholder. The Colruyt family is also a direct investor in Sofindev funds through the family investment company Korys.
