We focus on what we’re good at
We have been in the business of private equity investing for almost 50 years. We invest in six sectors – Business Services, Consumer, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials and TMT – and we don’t get distracted by anything else. Our investors like us for our long track record of finding good businesses and helping them deliver sustainable, transformative growth.

We invest behind long-term, structural trends
Our diversified portfolio is resilient, even in the face of market fluctuations, because we invest behind structural trends which can withstand short-term headwinds.

We work as one team to find the best investments
Our sector-country matrix ensures our global investment team shares knowledge, insights and connections across our sectors and regions to identify the best investment opportunities.

We have people on the ground in all the markets in which we invest
With eight regional offices across Europe and the US, our teams can draw on the expertise of the best people wherever they are, whenever they need it. Our colleagues are deeply embedded in their regions, with strong networks and long-standing relationships which are essential to unlocking opportunities.

We are forensic in our diligence
When we look at an investment, we delve deep into the details of the business, often developing our growth strategy and building relationships with management teams long before we actually invest. This means that, from the outset, we know we’re working with true transformation potential.

Once invested, we work with management to develop value creation levers focused on sustainability
We put responsibility and accountability at the heart of our investment strategy. We review potential investments against our ESG framework and, once invested, we work with management teams to set targets for decarbonisation, diversity and governance.
