Bridgepoint's private equity business focuses on investing in middle-market businesses via three distinct fund strategies:
- Mid-market, implemented via our flagship fund, Bridgepoint Europe, which focuses on investing in market-leading businesses typically valued at more than €300 million;
- Lower mid-market, implemented via Bridgepoint Development Capital, which focuses on investing in companies that are typically valued between €100 million and €300 million;
- Small Cap, implemented via Bridgepoint Growth, which focuses on companies using digital technologies to achieve transformational growth in their end-markets and are typically seeking equity investment of up to €100 million.
Credit, implemented via Bridgepoint Credit, is our private credit platform that invests across the capital structure and risk-reward spectrum through three complementary strategies:
- Syndicated Debt, which targets investments in high-quality companies across the broadly syndicated loan and high-yield markets;
- Direct Lending, which covers growth capital, acquisitions and refinancings; and
- Credit Opportunities, which provides credit for complex situations and creative solutions.
Our infrastructure strategy is implemented through ECP, one of the largest private infrastructure managers focused on North American, middle-market energy transition opportunities.
ECP's flagship infrastructure funds focus on making value-add, predominantly control investments across electricity and sustainability infrastructure. These sectors include opportunities within wind, solar, storage, natural gas power generation carbon capture, renewable fuels, energy efficiency, digital, hydrogen, recycling waste management, beneficial re-use and waste-to-energy.
