Overview

About Us

We are an independent investment firm, which operates across Benelux, France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK, investing as a strategic partner alongside management teams. In each of our markets we look for strong businesses with the potential to grow, supported by our capital and guided by our experience.

At Equistone, we have always believed in making public our portfolio investments and exits and welcome the steps taken by the private equity industry to codify best practice in transparency principles and good governance.

Our business model involves us having a deep presence in our core markets as a local capital provider. For this reason, you will find that in addition to this website, which focuses on the business as a whole, we operate local language websites in French and German, which additionally feature elements of our locally adapted origination and management style.
