Investment approach

Our private equity team is split into four verticals: Goods & Products, Health & Life, Services and Technology. Through our thematic investing approach, our global team of private equity professionals seeks to identify the most attractive transformative trends across these verticals and invest into the companies that we believe have the strongest potential to benefit from these trends.

Together with our extensive network of Operating Directors and Industry Advisors, our private equity investment professionals seek to maximise the value of our portfolio companies by driving forward strategic initiatives and operational improvements.

The private equity team's investment strategy is focused around three pillars:

Select growth themes

where we avoid cyclicality and focus on stable sectors

Platform companies

where we buy add-on firms to grow the platform

Asset transformation

by enhancing business models and operations
