Seizing the opportunity for change

Investors come to us for our experience and focus on small and mid-market buyout investments, sourced primarily from family and founder-owners. We seek to drive growth and transformation in the businesses we own. We leverage our global platform, and a network of specialised managers, to access high-potential investments.

Why it makes sense to tap into lower mid-market buyouts

Schroders Capital is a seasoned buyout investor. We focus on specialised market segments, with a global perspective. Our investors benefit from a network that we’ve developed since 1997. We believe the small and mid-market is where the best opportunities to maximise return can be found. Companies in this segment are less reliant on financial engineering, instead generating upside through operational improvements and transformed growth.

Global reach. Local networks.

Our global, institutional platform supports strong local teams working alongside specialist GPs. Through these partnerships we are a respected investor and valued for the experience and networks we can bring to those companies.
