Thanks to all of you for the pointers to Gandi. I have begun moving all my eggs to that basket, and hope all of you will help me watch that basket. I was concerned that Gandi recently sold themselves: --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandi --- > 2019: On 28 February, Gandi CEO Stephan Ramoin announced that private > equity firm Montefiore Investments had acquired the company. ... so I looked into Montefiore Investments. They appear to be a smallish "buy and hold forever" French investment company, with a focus on assets with multi-generation enduring value. I know of the breed; there are a few quiet, non-flashy forever-investment groups in the US who have endured for more than a century ... which is nothing compared to some multi-century European outfits. There is no guarantee that Montefiore will be stable forever, but I expect them to endure longer than I do, unlike the founding team of Gandi, who will eventually retire or die. The Gandi founders have made the best accomodation for the future that I can imagine. Perhaps there are Swiss or Swedish investment groups that are even more stable, but the Gandi/Montefiore deal seems based on personal trust and careful negotiation, difficult across borders.
