The VFI Group was created in 2008 anticipating the new economic trends characterized by:

1) A dramatic shift in the balance between the developed economies and exponentially growing emerging/developing economies (more than 50% of the world GDP as of today).

2) - Given the dismal growth rate of developed economies, large European multinational companies are more and more concentrating their investments in emerging countries in order to benefit from their high economic growth rates;
- Reversely, cash rich emerging countries are investing in European countries in areas such as luxury goods and high technology.

3) Cash rich emerging countries (China, Russia, Brazil…) are channeling investments in other emerging countries (Africa, Latin America…), by way of subsidized investments in infrastructure, in order to secure the required mineral and agricultural resources needed to sustain their economic and population growth rates.
It is clear that the "intra-emerging" countries flows are becoming the most fast growing and active segment of the international cross border business, particularly in the infrastructure and energy sectors.

4) As a consequence, the VFI group has two main areas of focus:
- Infrastructure, agriculture, energy and mining are the predominant underlying "classes of assets" of our activity.
- Emerging countries and particularly intra-emerging countries flows are our prime targets of business; this makes the VFI group special amongst other European based « advisory boutiques ».

In order to achieve this, the VFI Group has gathered a highly qualified team of professionals who all share this vision.
