Private Equity

Europe

Investcorp's European Private Equity team brings significant expertise to the table, backed by over 40 years of active investing experience across 14 countries and over €6 billion deployed in 59 investments. We have established ourselves as one of the pre-eminent mid-market private equity investors in the region, with a differentiated approach that ensures strong alignment of interests with our investors and portfolio companies. Since 2012, Investcorp European Private Equity has invested approximately €2.3 billion in companies across Europe.
 

We focus on investment opportunities in European-headquartered mid-sized companies with strong growth potential, solid cash flow, prominent industry positioning, and exceptional management with a robust track record. We primarily target companies in tech-led and specialized services backing companies with a clear purpose in sectors set for long-term growth driven by demographic shifts and technological progress.

We seek buyouts, controlling stakes, or substantial minority stakes in companies with €10-40 million EBITDA and high growth potential, typically requiring equity investments of €100-200 million. We are flexible and patient investors, leveraging our global resources, talent, and expertise to support our portfolio companies.

Investcorp’s post-acquisition model provides value-added management and oversight support using a blend of financial, operational, and strategic expertise. We aim to be a strategic partner to management teams by providing human and capital resources to support geographic expansion, growth through acquisitions and greenfield developments, and leveraging our global network to support companies at the operating and board level.

Our in-house investment team is supported by a network of external Advisory Directors who are part of a well-honed framework driving growth and business transformation in partnership with management of our portfolio companies to deliver on the Value Creation Plan, focusing on commercial excellence, tech-driven business transformation, data and business insight, management team development, and governance and risk mitigation.
