Dominique Catteaux
Dominique Catteaux has been an advisor to NESTOR France since its inception in 1997. He resigned in 2000 to devote himself to putting his database of French small caps on the internet. He has again had his hand on the tiller at NESTOR France since mid-2002.
Born in Roubaix in France, Dominique Catteaux first studied mathematics, physics, computer science and finance in Lille. He then trained as a financial analyst and became a journalist. Having spent ten years as editor-in-chief of La Vie Financiere, the biggest stock exchange newsletter in Paris, he then built up the online platform “Small Cap Services”, which published analyses of French small caps.
Dominique Catteaux has won many awards for his skill in successfully selecting French small caps, among them two gold medals from Sauren Fonds-Research AG since 2005.
Asked to describe his recipe for success, he says, “I look for shares that are going to be tomorrow’s stars”. His investment universe is enormous; he has over 800 securities to choose from.
