Three Hills is an established asset management platform providing bespoke capital solutions in Europe and North America through three dedicated investment strategies: Capital Solutions, Impact, and Credit Opportunities. The firm offers financing solutions to mid-market companies, utilising a full spectrum of downside-protected capital solutions ranging from senior debt to preferred equity, helping to unlock the businesses' full potential, whilst allowing entrepreneurs and management teams to retain control over their companies. Three Hills' investment approach is rooted in offering hands-on operational and strategic support, all while offering the management teams a greater share in the upside than traditional private equity solutions. Since 2008, when the founders pioneered preferred capital investing in Europe, the firm has focused on empowering management teams with the capital and operational support they need to reach new heights, enabling businesses to build sustainable, long-term growth.
