Developing resilient infrastructure to withstand upcoming external shocks

Investment Focus

We seek majority positions in cash-generating businesses with solid business models within the CEE region, or in adjacent EU countries in projects with a strong CEE angle.

Our equity investment ticket is typically between €40 and €100 million. We invest in real asset businesses and supporting services, with a focus on value growth with capable partners. Typically, we avoid development risk and enter greenfield projects at ready-to-build (RTB) stage. In every opportunity, we look for potential and the ability to create long-term value through active partnership.

“CEE Equity Partners delivers resilient,
long-term outperformance by investing in exceptional businesses and projects.”

Value Enhancement

Value in our investments is built through active partnership with management, supported by hands-on involvement at every stage. Our engagement begins before completion and continues through to exit.

Working closely with management, we agree a focused development plan ahead of completion that sets clear priorities for corporate governance, operational improvement, growth and asset de-risking initiatives identified during due diligence, and ESG actions.

We remain actively involved in execution, supporting initiatives that increase productivity and profitability, including add-on acquisitions, integration, and the development of new investment opportunities.

ESG

We aim to deliver superior returns for investors whilst making a positive environmental and social impact. ESG considerations are integrated throughout the investment lifecycle to strengthen resilience and drive sustainable performance in our portfolio companies.

For every new investment, we implement a tailored ESG plan covering onboarding, KPIs, template policies, and measurement tools. Progress is regularly monitored and reported against the plan. Each portfolio company is supported by our ESG Director within a robust ESG governance framework throughout our ownership.
