As one of the earliest pioneers in the alternative investment industry, we pride ourselves on our rich and extensive history, with decades of experience deploying capital across multiple business cycles and environments.

With six offices around the world, our team is well-positioned to identify the global trends and themes that underpin each of our investment strategies. We overlay this thematic approach with an extensive global network of highly valued relationships, enabling us to identify and invest in the most attractive opportunities. Our heritage dates back more than a century to 1917, managing the wealth of our founding shareholder, the Bemberg family, which we continue to do today. As the custodian of our founder’s wealth, we ensure we are fully aligned with all those across the globe who entrust us with their capital.

Strategies

BuyoutBuyout
Quilvest Capital Partners’ Buyout team partners with entrepreneurs and founders of small to mid-sized companies to support the next phase of their growth, working together to achieve ambitious goals. We back companies with a track record of profitable growth, focusing deeply on targeted verticals within the Business Services (Software & Telecom, Outsourced Services) and Consumer (Education, Next Gen Consumer, Multi Unit) sectors, driven by strong underlying macro-trends. Our investment strategy has remained the same over the past 15 years: we take majority or influential minority stakes in the lower middle market. We invest in North America and Western Europe, mainly France, UK, Switzerland and the Benelux. We focus on primary founder/ owner or primary-like situations where we believe there is more alpha potential. We aim to partner with managers who behave as buyers, typically months ahead, or outside of processes. This helps us build a deep understanding of companies and create strong relationships with managers.
Real EstateReal Estate
Quilvest Capital Partners Real Estate platform capitalizes on market inefficiencies to enhance value and deliver superior returns. We employ a thematic approach to provide investors differentiated exposure to select niche strategies in lower-mid-market real estate, where we have high conviction and are below the radar of institutional investors across the US and Europe. Our flexible approach allows investors to construct portfolios across diversified funds, focused platforms, and direct co-investments. We are value-add real estate investors with proven experience in bringing efficiencies to operationally intensive transactions. We add value by offering growth capital and perspective to improve profitability and attract broader interest at exit.
Private CreditPrivate Debt
Quilvest Capital Partners invests in U.S. lower middle market businesses.  We provide flexible capital solutions that align with a company’s growth strategy – and we often enhance that alignment by investing both debt and equity. Ultimately, we aim to offer customized solutions to help businesses achieve their objectives. This may include facilitating management buyouts, managing shareholder liquidity events, succession planning, generational changes or supporting growth strategies. Today’s small business owners are faced with various funding options for their business plans and goals and often settle for an imperfect outcome – taking on too much inflexible debt or experiencing more equity dilution than desired. We seek to offer these Companies a better capital alternative.
