Growth and Capital

Companies owned by financial investors

Companies held through an acquisition structure of financial investors, with the approximate date of acquisition.

The occasion

Financial investors hold their investments over a foreseeable period and prepare the exit well in advance: through refinancing, add on acquisitions, a change of management and finally the sale. Knowing when a company was acquired means knowing which phase of this cycle it is in.
