We are a reliable and responsive minority investor, supporting fund managers in the acquisition of attractive companies globally. We have built up long-term relationships with many of the most skilled and successful fund managers, enabling us to construct compelling portfolios for our investors.
As one of the pioneers in private equity, LGT Capital Partners has long-standing, deep relationships with many of the best fund managers globally. We draw on these relationships to generate a broad funnel of opportunities, and we are often among the first co-investors contacted for attractive co-investment opportunities. Our strong execution capabilities and dedicated transaction team have helped build a reputation in the market, leading to consistent deal flow.
Our dedicated co-investment transaction team of 25 specialists is supported by a larger international team of more than 300 private equity professionals based at investment hubs in San Francisco, New York, London, Pfaeffikon (near Zurich) Hong Kong and Beijing. The diversity of the team, in which more than 50 nationalities and more than 40 different languages are represented, positions us to source and evaluate assets in markets where local knowledge is essential. Led by a group of partners with an average of 22 years of experience in the industry, we have the breadth and depth of local experience to effectively navigate the web of managers spread across the US, Europe and Asia.

Our experienced team and institutionalized approach have enabled us to build up a track record that comprises more than USD 6.5 billion invested in over 290 companies across the globe. Over this time, we have delivered compelling risk-adjusted returns to our investors with a strong focus on downside protection.
