Peninsula Capital

Peninsula Capital is a flexible and long-term

European Private Equity investor

We back companies with strong fundamentals and unique products or services portfolio, working with a long-term approach alongside managers and other stakeholders to create sustainable value, maintaining a flexible approach to create tailor-made transaction structures that meet the parties' necessities.

Investment Approach

INVESTMENT SIZE
Our investment sweet spot ranges from €30 million to €120 million per single transaction, either upfront or cumulative across the investment lifecycle (i.e. including further capital injected to pursue M&A and other growth projects, or further secondary stake building). Additionally, we have the ability to deploy significantly larger amounts (up to €1 billion) via co-investment agreements.

INVESTMENT TYPE

We invest in Equity and Equity-linked securities. We invest both in primary (capital issuance) and secondary (liquidity events) transactions, although alignement of interest retains the utmost importance for our investment thesis.

OWNERSHIP TYPE
We have equal appetite for majority and minority shareholding stakes. Regardless of our ownership level, we always strive to help the selected management teams and co-shareholders by adding value through our network, support on M&A project and other extraordinary finance events, and other , while leaving the C-level executives in full control of the day-to-day operations.

INVESTMENT HORIZON
Due to the nature of our funds, we are able to maintain a flexible approach in terms of time horizon. We have patient capital, and always adapt the transaction to the requirements of the company, management and other stakeholders, with the ultimate goal always being the creation of sustainable value for the shareholders.

INVESTMENT LEVERAGE
We always limit our recourse to leverage, in order to allow the acquired assets to pursue their growth plans without the restraints created by high leverage. On the other hand, we are always open to invest additional capital when attractive growth projects (M&A, Capex plans) are available. We believe that a safety headroom is always requird to absorb unexpected events and economic cycles.

INVESTMENT GEOGRAPHY

Our Investment Team is based in Madrid (Spain), Milan (Italy) and Paris (France), where it cultivated deep local knowledge as well as value adding network, which we always make available to our portfolio companies when required. For these reasons, our investments focus on such countries.
