Our Sector Approach

Industrials represent our largest invested sector. Equistone invests in a range of businesses that demonstrate differentiated products and market leadership, typically with proprietary intellectual property, exposure to attractive end markets or with operational improvement potential. In addition, we are particularly focused on identifying innovative industrial technology platforms and businesses that drive energy transition or decarbonisation.

Business services represent a core sector for which Equistone has a broad appetite and significant experience. The focus is on differentiated, value-added business-to-business services.

Equistone has established a long and successful history of investing in the consumer sector, including in many well-known brand names in retail, food and beverage, travel and leisure.

Financial services is a sector in which genuine specialisation and experience are key. We have invested across the sector, from insurance to payments, to wealth management to lending. This includes balance sheet businesses such as insurers and lenders, as well as asset-light models such as brokers and service providers.

The TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunication) sector is a growing area of investment and Equistone has supported a diverse range of industries including advertising and marketing, IT consultancy services, IT managed services, telecommunications and moving image content providers.

Equistone has supported a number of businesses in the healthcare industry, including investments in CDMOs (contract development and manufacturing organisations), CROs (contract research organisations), medtech products, and healthcare services.
