Société Financière de l’Arno is a closely held investment company driven by the values of its shareholders who include several generations of the Aubry family.

SFA’s long-term approach is reflected in the sustainability requirements for our investments and philanthropic activities. The family’s history in publishing great literature and encyclopaedias has led the group’s philanthropy to mostly focus on art, culture and education supporting institutions that promote access to knowledge and beauty, in particular The London Library where Alain serves as a trustee, and the Bibliothèque Nationale of France where Alain is on the board of the Friends.
