Cinven

About

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 8 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.
