VE Partners (‘VEP’) is a privately owned hands-on investment and management firm with a rich history with over 25 years of experience across a wide range of sectors. A common denominator of success over the years has been seamless alignment between management teams and VE Partners. Alignment in shared beliefs on strategy, priorities and expectations. Our involvement truly starts beyond the transaction phase, based upon the commonly defined expectations. Our buyout specializations include: - Growth & Expansion - Performance improvement - Succession & transition - Carve-outs - Turnarounds & restructuring Our real involvement starts after the transaction. We engage in a close collaboration with our portfolio companies, actively participating in discussions on strategy or operational aspects for example. Our roles vary from sounding board to management to active involvement in pre-agreed strategic goals such as buy-and-build or operational improvement projects. Beyond providing capital, we strive to add value through our experience in similar situations, our outside-in view on the business and our network. Each case requires a tailored approach. Since 2008, VEP successfully raised four equity funds backed by well known institutional investors. These funds enabled VEP to apply their hands-on expertise on a larger scale and continue to look for interesting investment opportunities.
