Vision Capital principally acquires controlling interests in portfolios of mature, mainly European mid-market companies. We have no sector preferences.

We do not buy venture capital portfolios and are not involved in the market for secondary limited partners’ interests in buyout or venture funds.

We actively manage our portfolio companies together with their management teams, whose interests we share. We build stronger companies and create competitive returns for our investors by:

• developing a clear strategy for each business
• building and re-energising management teams
• ensuring that operating plans are executed
• reducing and managing risk
• injecting investment capital to support each company’s strategy and optimise its balance sheet
• making follow-on acquisitions and disposals.

Vision Capital is a leading, experienced and successful buyer of company portfolios. Between 1997 and 2007, we invested in seven portfolios with an underlying enterprise value of over €2 billion from Terra Firma / Pension Insurance Corporation, Northern Foods, Bridgepoint, AEA Technology, Legal & General, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank.
