What We Do

About Us - What We Do Print

Strategy
Our priorities are:

  • to provide high-profile companies in Luxembourg and beyond with a stable shareholder support for their growth strategies

  • to offer regional companies a financial partner for reorganisation in situations that include succession issues in family ownership, spin-offs, privatisation or Management Buyouts.

  • to support innovative entrepreneurs in the execution of their business plans

In order to achieve this, we are able to draw on the resources of a growing network of business partners in both Private Equity and the various industrial sectors we are involved with.

Our goal is to create value for our shareholders, providing them with attractive returns over the medium term.

Portfolio
We have a diversified portfolio that reflects our commitment to providing reliable financial support for our partners over the longer term, as well as attractive returns for our shareholders. This portfolio is built on a well-balanced mixture of investments in our Region's leading listed companies and Private Equity Investments (venture capital and leveraged buy-outs).

Our approach is designed to make the most of the special strengths of Luxembourg and neighbouring regions:

  • the business and financial clout of major firms operating in a wide variety of sectors, with a highly diversified international presence

  • creative flair and potential for innovation among newer companies operating in growth sectors. Especially at early and transitional stages in their development, these pioneers need customised financial support to implement their strategies and make their business vision a reality. This concerns in particular the investments of newcomers to the market and of smaller businesses taking advantage of new business opportunities.

BIP has thus moved to extend the range of financial services available to these companies, covering sectors that include traditional industries, telecommunications, media and technology. A priority has been to remain flexible and open to new developments, so as to meet the challenges of a fast-changing business environment effectively.

Investors new to private equity should be aware that it typically takes five to seven years for such investments to mature, allowing value to be unlocked through a trade sale, a management buyout, or an initial public offering.
