Crayon Partners: Investing in Europe’s future homeowners

Crayon Partners’ Crayon Jaune strategy addresses Europe’s housing affordability gap by providing a structured rent-to-own pathway for middle-income households excluded from mortgage markets. Launched in 2025 as an Article 8 SFDR fund, it acquires well-located residential assets and enables tenants to convert part of their rent into a future deposit, typically building up to 90% of the required equity within two to three years. The model delivers high tenant retention, stable income and clear exit visibility, demonstrating how social mobility, affordability and institutional-grade returns can be aligned within a scalable residential investment framework.
