Bridgepoint

Bridgepoint’s track record and experience of the highly specific nature of regulation in the financial services sector means that we can put in place robust and effective financing structures in order to structure our investments so that we can efficiently deliver benefits to all our stakeholders.

Our investment focus in this sector is on strong platforms with defensible market leading positions where we can support strong management teams to secure organic and acquisitive growth.

Within Financial Services we are particularly attracted to a number of sub sectors:

• Wealth and Asset Management - where assets under management show strong growth as a result of factors like an ageing and increasingly wealthy population and best in class businesses can capture market share and are highly scaleable. 
• Financial Infrastructure, Technology and Services - where efficient, focused operators have the opportunity to make attractive margins whilst delivering cost and service quality improvements to their customers. Examples of the types of business we are attracted to include payment processing, logistics management, back office operations and claims handling.
• Insurance - where there are excellent growth prospects in broking and underwriting through best in class analytics and customer service offers.
• Consumer and Specialist Finance - where companies using proprietary IP can identify and penetrate customer niches that the general lenders find hard to reach and serve economically.
