Abstract
[eng] Capital investment and the risk of illiquidity . After a brief survey of the role of capital investment in France, this papers analyses the risk of illiquidity which occurs when the investor is unable to hand over as planned a holding in a company that he has been supporting for many years. Financial techniques used by investors to protect themselves against this risk are then presented, along with a study illustrating the influence of these practices on capital investment profitability. One should underline that the main cause of illiquidity for capital investment is linked to the very scarcity of the capital invested in this market, and to the still unsufficient liquidity of the stock markets for equities in France, and more generally in continental Europe. [fre] Après avoir rappelé brièvement le rôle du capital investissement en France, cet article présente et analyse le risque d'illiquidité qui se manifeste lorsque l'investisseur ne peut pas céder comme prévu une participation au capital d'une société qu'il a accompagnée pendant plusieurs années. Les techniques financières mises en oeuvre par les investisseurs pour se prémunir contre ce risque sont ensuite présentées, avec une étude illustrative de l'influence de ces pratiques sur la rentabilité du capital investissement. Il convient toutefois de souligner que la cause principale de l'illiquidité pour le capital investissement tient à la trop grande rareté des capitaux investis sur ce marché et à la liquidité encore insuffisante des marchés boursiers de valeurs moyennes en France et plus généralement en Europe continentale.
