Investment thesis

Caphaven Partners invests in companies with enterprise values of up to £50 million which have strong earnings growth or turnaround potential and which are operating in a favourable market environment. The firm focuses on adding value to the companies in which it invests, actively supporting management in identifying and realising new opportunities to grow their business or improve profitability. Caphaven typically seeks majority control or substantial shareholdings that allow it to have meaningful impact, and invests in a broad range of businesses — typically in sectors where the team has unique insights, a strong network, or previous management and investing experience. Geographic focus is the UK and Northern Europe.
