BC Partners is an international investment firm that offers select, focused investment strategies designed to complement each other and create synergies that benefit our investors. Founded in 1986 as one of the first pan-European buy-out investors, BC Partners has grown and evolved into a leading alternative investment firm, investing principally in businesses in Europe and North America through its established network of offices in London, Paris, Hamburg, and New York. Our strategic offering includes a Credit Investment platform that pursues yield and opportunistic investment opportunities primarily in North America. BC Partners provides a consistent investment approach across its strategies, utilising rigorous analysis to seek to establish downside protection and identify realistic and meaningful value-add opportunities. Our partnership structure is designed to align the firm’s interests with those of our investors.

We are a leading pure-play, international private equity firm that has been investing for nearly 50 years. We invest in high-performing businesses with strong potential for growth, across Europe and, since 2015, with a focused presence in North America. We create value by working closely with portfolio company management teams to achieve clear strategic goals – a partnership approach which consistently drives outstanding performance. We invest across six sectors: Business Services, Consumer, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials and TMT, and operate out of 7 offices in Europe and the US. This focused approach means we have developed deep expertise across these sectors and regions, making us well placed to help our portfolio companies drive growth through cycles by implementing value creation plans with significant impact. We are proud of our collaborative culture. We form strong partnerships – with investors, with management teams, with external advisers and with colleagues. Every Cinven investment brings together our sector, country and functional specialists who pool their experience to identify untapped potential. Once invested, we work side by side with management teams and co-invest partners, aligning on a business vision and drawing on our experience to provide the strategic direction they need to achieve sustainable growth. This partnership approach means we all succeed together. Visit www.cinven.com to learn more about our work.
