Rob Grayson: 2:59pm Dec 13, 2006: "chapeauter" normally means to head up/control/oversee (as confirmed by my CR). Does the context exclude this kind of interpretation?

to coordinate

Explanation:
an option for 'chapeauter un projet' would be 'coordinate', so >I don't see why it wouldn't fit here, especially since the idea seems to be to develop a coherent investment 'package' (the 'tous' in 'tous ses investissments') as opposed to just 'chapeauter ses investissements'...
