Investment thesis

Charterhouse is one of the longest-established private equity firms operating in Europe, with over 90 years of investing history and €7bn in current AUM. The firm follows a selective, conviction-led approach to acquiring high-quality mid-market European companies, targeting transactions with an enterprise value of between €150 million and €1.5 billion, predominantly across the Services and Healthcare sectors, in four regions: UK & Ireland, France, DACH, and Southern Europe/Benelux. Charterhouse connects expertise and capital, collaborating with ambitious management teams to unlock transformational change. It pursues a growth-focused strategy — often sourcing opportunities ahead of any formal process — and works in an integrated, hands-on manner across its entire international team to build successful businesses over the long term. As Partner Gilles Collombin has stated: "We don't buy growth, we build growth."
