The team
Buyout investments

  • $13bn

    of AUM

  • 100+

    investments and over 320 build-ups since 1997

  • €1bn

    to €1.5bn invested or committed each year

A multilocal network of investment professionals

We have local teams in each of our key markets across Europe and more recently in New York, with strong networks of relationships among companies, their owners and advisors. Coupled with our reputation as a supportive, growth-focused shareholder, this unmatched sourcing capacity enables us to generate a large number of primary, proprietary deals, notably family buyouts and carve-outs.

Focus on niche markets in our core sectors with high growth potential

The team targets specialist, high-growth market segments that offer the opportunity to achieve global scale through M&A-led consolidation. We invest in 4 core sectors that benefit from long-term growth megatrends including demand for natural alternatives, Food safety & transparency, longevity and food as medicine, digitalization, Health Tech, natural health solutions; data science & AI, Cybersecurity, Cloudification; specialized services outsourcing, safety & wealth protection, and others.

A leader in sustainability and positive impact

The team carried out its first ESG portfolio review in 2009 and since then we have made ESG measurement and benchmarking a central part of our investment process and a key area of focus during our ownership. We report regularly to our investors on ESG performance and assess our companies’ impact using the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. More recently the team has developed a sustainable measurement methodology and this tool marks an important milestone that provides new possibilities for us to scale our impact and act as a driver of positive change for society and the planet.

Sector expertise

We specialize in four sectors that are poised for robust and sustainable growth – Health & Wellness, the Food Value Chain, Technology, and Business Services – where our private equity expertise gives us a valuable competitive advantage. EUAM Ltd provides our portfolio companies with a strategic partner that offers in-depth market experience and an extensive network within the sector.
