About us
Connection Capital provides private investors with access to direct private equity and private debt transactions, commercial property deals and institutional-grade alternative asset fund strategies from leading fund managers, which would otherwise be unavailable to them. We provide a fully managed service to help clients build up their own alternative asset portfolios. Private investors self-select which opportunities they want to take a stake in, investing in £25,000 tranches. Opportunities are identified and negotiated by us and we also carry out all due diligence and manage the investment from completion through to exit on our clients’ behalf. We have raised over £500m from private clients and invested and exited from a diverse range of companies including Virgin Wines, 23.5 Degrees (the UK's first Starbucks franchise partner) disruptive insuretech TempCover and properties tenanted by Travis Perkins and Premier Inn. Our relationships with third-party fund managers means our clients have been able to invest in funds managed by leading private equity firms such as CVC, Permira, 17Capital, Invesco, DNCapital, Therium and many more.

We are pleased to announce that we have realised a partial exit from our investment in The Light. The business has grown well during the period of our investment, successfully developing and launching its ‘destination entertainment’ concept. Acquirer Risk Capital Partners will enable further UK sites to be opened and we are delighted to retain an interest in the business as this rolls-out. We wish the management team continued success. #privateequity #uksme
