Bridgepoint is a major international private equity group focused on acquiring middle market companies in attractive markets with the potential to grow organically or through acquisition. With some €12 billion of capital raised to date, it focuses on acquiring well managed companies in sectors with the potential to grow organically or through acquisition. These companies are typically valued between €200 million and €1 billion. In addition, the Group also has a separate lower mid‐cap business (Bridgepoint Development Capital) which focuses on the acquisition of companies valued between €50 million and €200million.

It is especially interested in acquiring businesses with strong market positions and earnings growth potential where significant additional value can be created through expansion and operational improvement. The Firm invests in six principal sectors: business services, consumer, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing & industrials and media & technology.

Bridgepoint has offices throughout Europe in Frankfurt, Istanbul, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, New York, Paris, Shanghai and Stockholm.

People are the reason behind their success – particularly in assembling the best teams for every investment they make. They are able to bring together people with the most relevant sector and transaction experience, to originate attractive investment opportunities for their investors and to position their portfolio companies for long-term growth.

Their ultimate aim is to be the international private equity manager of choice for their investors, and the management and employees of portfolio companies everywhere they operate.

To achieve this, they strive to maintain the highest levels of corporate governance, applying standards of professionalism uniformly across the firm.

They work hard to maintain these standards, and this is reflected in the management structure: the Firm is led by 25 partners and managed by a Group Board.  This board has executive responsibility for setting the Firm's strategy. An Investment Advisory Committee comprising members of the group board as well as other partners with specific sector or operating expertise reach investment decisions for the Firm.
