BXR Group's investment philosophy is based on a partnership approach, working closely with highly motivated management teams and well-trained, incentivised workforces. BXR Group currently employs over 35,000 people through its portfolio companies.

BXR Group is owned by a number of North American and EU investors. The largest single shareholder of the group is Zdenek Bakala, a US and Czech citizen with a long and successful track record in finance and private investing, who together with his family holds a non-controlling 50% stake. The balance is mostly owned by trusts associated with former colleagues of his from his time as an investment banker at Credit Suisse First Boston in the 1990s.
