Our commitment and skill over many years in selecting, financing and developing companies with outstanding growth potential has produced a highly differentiated investment strategy across middle-market private equity and private credit.
We have a blue-chip base of more than 300 diverse investors globally including public pension funds, asset managers, insurance companies, sovereign entities and financial institutions. We offer investors a range of strategies to invest for the medium term in the European middle market.
