Sector expertise
Bridgepoint invests internationally in six principal sectors: business services, consumer, financial services, healthcare, industrials and media & tech. Our investment teams therefore appreciate the need to gain a deep understanding of the circumstances affecting individual businesses and the competitive dynamics of their markets, and to determine from this knowledge the opportunities each business has to grow.
Acquisitions with management
Bridgepoint seeks to acquire companies with strong market positions and earnings growth potential where significant additional value can be created through expansion and operational improvement. Typically it achieves this by using its industrial, commercial and financial expertise to work alongside management to create the value sought by investors, managers and Bridgepoint alike.
Power of the portfolio
The Bridgepoint Affinity Purchasing Scheme, or BAPS, is a service provided by Bridgepoint to all its portfolio companies aimed at driving down costs on non-strategic products. It does this by aggregating purchasing volumes and thereby achieving significantly reduced prices.
