What makes us different

At Connection Capital we recognise that for many private investors the time, effort and expertise required to build a broad portfolio of direct private equity investments can often be prohibitive.

For this reason, we provide a fully managed service whereby our clients can invest directly in private companies as part of an organised syndicate. We find the investment opportunities, negotiate the terms, manage the due diligence process and prepare all the legal documentation on behalf of our investors. The decision to invest, or not, in a particular company is entirely down to each individual client. We also actively manage the portfolio and exit process and investors receive regular progress reports on every company in which they hold a stake.

With  £150m of assets under management across over 45 individual investments, we typically back established, profitable companies raising growth capital, replacement capital or undergoing a management buy-out. We also offer, from time to time, investment opportunities in both UK commercial and residential property in conjunction with Riverside Capital, a specialist property investor well known to us. Occasionally, we offer clients access to alternative investments such as mezzanine opportunities as well as access to institutional mid-market private equity funds.
