Growth Capital

We are the world’s leading growth investor.

Our Growth Capital team provides financial and strategic support to established businesses with the potential for outstanding value growth. Each year, we invest over €1bn in businesses operating out of Europe, Asia and North America.

Typically we invest up to €150m in businesses with enterprise values ranging from €100m to €1bn. We take a minority share to help a business to achieve growth ambitions, restructure shareholdings, release equity or change the balance of equity to debt. We provide flexible funding packages that may consist of a mixture of loan finance as well as equity funding – whatever is most suitable.

As an active partner:

  • it is your business to run. Our role is to support, advise, provide global insights and access to contacts.

As a shareholder:

  • your interests are the same as ours - profits, growth and sustainable success.

Once we have invested, we are committed to working in partnership; delivering our international network, our market insight and our energy to help build exceptional businesses.

We provide outstanding resources to entrepreneurs including:

  • in-depth industry insight and experience across six key global sectors

  • global perspective and network – with local teams in 12 countries across Europe, Asia and North America

  • a €5bn pool of capital for investment in growth opportunities over the next four years.

Our partnership approach is fundamental to success.
