Investment thesis

Five Arrows is the alternative assets arm of Rothschild & Co, managing €33 billion globally across corporate private equity, secondary private equity, multi-manager funds, co-investments, and direct lending. The Corporate Private Equity business focuses on investing in Europe and North America through funds targeting the lower mid-market, mid-market, and upper mid-market. Five Arrows partners with high-quality market-leading companies, founders, and managers, supporting them on their journey and next phase of growth. The firm focuses on medium-sized companies in specific sectors: data and software, healthcare and education, and technology-enabled business services. The investment philosophy is founded on three intertwined principles: passion for investing, respect for risk, and culture of partnership. Five Arrows invests significant capital alongside investors in each fund and actively encourages managers to invest alongside them in the companies they run, creating a close-knit ecosystem where all interests are fully aligned.

Notable quotes

We are grateful for the trust and support of both our existing as well as our new investors. The core of our team has worked together for over 20 years, providing the foundation for an enduring focus on middle-market GP-led secondaries in Europe and North America.
