Private Equity
Our Private Equity strategy leverages long term relationships with best-in-class global strategic partners, offering clients efficient access to differentiated investment opportunities around the world. We complement our fund commitments with a highly experienced team capable of direct and co-investing, resulting in a resilient and diversified portfolio.
Our highly experienced Private Equity team creates multiple layers of value for our clients through fund commitments, direct investments and co-investments, delivering outperformance and efficient diversification. We invest alongside best-in-class strategic fund partners, including KKR, Brookfield, Kohlberg & Company, and Nordic Capital, who value our ability to engage quickly and to expertly structure and execute flexible transactions tailored to their needs. Our highly collaborative and engaged approach creates value for our portfolio companies.
We are focused on North American and European companies with strong management teams across sectors—industrial, business services, consumer, technology, media and communications, healthcare and financial services. We aim to grow our portfolio to more than $10 billion by 2027, generating strategic value and risk-adjusted returns for our partners and clients alike.
