About Us
Capvent was founded in 2000 and operates as a highly specialized institutional private equity fund and direct co-investor with both global and emerging Asia focused investment programs. Since inception, Capvent has evaluated more than 3,000 private equity funds globally and has invested over $1.2 billion in more than 105 private equity funds that incorporate various investment strategies including buyout, mezzanine, growth, venture, distressed and turnaround, secondary and co-investments.
Capvent is managed by an experienced team of private equity professionals that have both fund and direct investment experience across the various areas of private equity and in many different sectors. Three senior partners lead the firm and are supported by eighteen investment professionals and four administrative staff professionals.
Capvent is present as a local investor in the most active private equity markets with offices in the United States (Chicago), Europe (Zurich - HQ) and Asia with three offices in India (Bangalore, Mumbai, Panaji) and one in Shanghai, China. This organizational structure provides great insight into trends, opportunities, threats, risks, investment processes and drivers of return.
Capvent is dedicated to maintaining a research driven, value focused and ‘alpha’ return oriented approach that focuses strictly on the middle market and favors regions and subsectors that are underserved with capital and offer solid potential for superior returns rather than the more common ‘beta’ return approach that focuses on providing access to larger and marquee brand named funds.
Capvent provides private equity investment solutions for sophisticated institutional investors including insurance companies, asset management firms, sophisticated family offices and consulting groups in the United States, Europe and Asia.
Capvent has capabilities to create customized fund-of-funds and separate account investment programs with either globally oriented or region specific strategies by working closely with investors to offer solutions that satisfy specific investment needs.
