Bridgepoint is one of the world's leading listed private asset growth investors, with over $86bn of assets under management across private equity, infrastructure and private credit, predominantly in Europe and North America.

Bridgepoint's private equity business focuses on investing in middle-market businesses via three distinct fund strategies:

• Middle Market, implemented via Bridgepoint’s flagship buyout fund, which focuses on investing in market-leading businesses typically valued at more than €300 million;
• Small Mid Cap, implemented via Bridgepoint Development Capital (BDC), which focuses on investing in small mid-cap companies valued between €100 million and €300 million;
• Small Cap, implemented via Bridgepoint Growth, which focuses on companies using digital technologies to achieve transformational growth in their end-markets, typically seeking equity investment of up to €100 million.

Credit, implemented via Bridgepoint Credit, is our private credit platform that invests across the capital structure and risk-reward spectrum through three complementary strategies:

• Syndicated Debt, which targets investments in high-quality companies across the broadly syndicated loan and high-yield markets;
• Direct Lending, which covers growth capital, acquisitions and refinancings; and
• Credit Opportunities, which provides credit for complex situations and creative solutions.

Our infrastructure strategy is implemented through ECP, one of the largest private infrastructure managers focused on North American, middle-market energy transition opportunities.

ECP's flagship infrastructure funds focus on making value-add, predominantly control investments across electricity and sustainability infrastructure. These sectors include opportunities within wind, solar, storage, natural gas power generation carbon capture, renewable fuels, energy efficiency, digital, hydrogen, recycling waste management, beneficial re-use and waste-to-energy.

In everything we do, from committing investors’ capital to working with portfolio companies, to supporting our teams, we’re guided by our values: 

• We do what we say
• We do the right thing
• We act with intelligence and humility
