Private Equity

In the business for more than 30 years now, the Invalda INVL group has solid experience managing private equity assets and building market players that are leaders in their respective fields in the Baltic countries and Central and Eastern Europe.

In collaboration with foreign private equity funds and local entrepreneurs, we have completed several dozen acquisitions, company sales and capital-raising transactions with a total value of over €2 billion.

With one of the most experienced private equity teams in the region, we successfully manage products that vary in size as well as in the investee companies’ region and type of operations. Most capital is invested in the Baltics, but there are also some investments outside the region.

We invest in private equity because we believe we create value not only by earning an attractive return for our investors, but also by contributing to economic growth in the region and the welfare of all of society.
