Connecting ideas and capital with great businesses


Bridgepoint's private equity business focuses on investing in middle-market businesses via three distinct fund strategies:

  • Middle Market, implemented via Bridgepoint’s flagship buyout fund, which focuses on investing in market-leading businesses typically valued between €250 million and €1 billion;
  • Small Mid Cap, implemented via Bridgepoint Development Capital, which focuses on investing in small mid-cap companies valued up to £200 million;
  • Small Cap, implemented via Bridgepoint Growth, which focuses on companies using digital technologies to achieve transformational growth in their end-markets, typically seeking equity investment of between £5 million and £20 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.
