Not getting the sense of it in this context, thanks:

Ceux-ci ont également vocation à investir directement dans les sociétés aux côtés des fonds (co-investissement)."

Selected
alongside other [or those] funds
i.e., the management company invests primarily in funds of private equity funds, but it can also invest directly in companies, just as the PE funds do (and "alongside" them), as a co-investor, since the investee companies are presumably non-public.

co-investment
Co-investment - Although used loosely to describe any two parties that invest alongside each other in the same company, this term has a special meaning when referring to limited partners in a fund. If a limited partner in a fund has co-investment rights, it can invest directly in a company that is also backed by the private equity fund. The institution therefore ends up with two separate stakes in the company - one indirectly through the fund; one directly in the company. Some private equity firms offer co-investment rights to encourage institutions to invest in their funds.
The advantage for an institution is that it should see a higher return than if it invested all its private equity allocation in funds - it doesn't have to pay a management fee and won't see at least 20 per cent of its return swallowed by a fund's carried interest. But to co-invest successfully, institutions need to have sufficient knowledge of the market to assess whether a co-investment opportunity is a good one.
