Xeon International is an Investment boutique that provides a real alternative to existing investment banking models. We believe that investment banking, as in its current form, has become old-fashioned.
This industry has created since decades, the myth that everything should be complicated and accessible only to insiders; nothing is less true.
At Xeon International, we look at things differently because we believe clients and investors deserve to be treated with more transparency, respect and ethics: all in a language they do understand. We look at the business with the eyes of our investors and clients while our solutions are genuinely individual.
Xeon International is an exclusive boutique offering a mix of 4 services.
From Company Financing and Growth management advisory to Private Equity management and Family Office services, we accompany our investors and clients independently and in their best interest and according to their needs.

We cherish our “lean and mean” structure and do not believe in the efficiency of standardised and anonymous organisations where no one is in charge anymore.

Xeon International is headquartered in Luxembourg and has built a global presence with its partners.
Yves Duponselle- Chief Executive Officer Xeon International
