New World Private Equity

Investment decisions are led by the partners: Stephen Altman, Max Weil, George Barham, and Harry Avens. All four are chartered accountants who previously worked in corporate finance, family offices, or specialist private equity firms. The firm does not publicly disclose a formal investment committee structure.

The firm sources deals through the partners' professional networks built during their careers at family offices, investment banks, and advisory practices. The website emphasizes the team's ability to identify management teams and design bespoke structures, suggesting an origination model driven by relationships rather than auction processes.

The firm executes direct investments exclusively, using buyout, growth capital, management buy-in, and management buy-out structures. For larger transactions, New World forms co-investment partnerships alongside larger trade or private equity investors rather than committing capital to third-party funds.

The firm targets companies with more than £5 million in revenue for venture or growth capital, and companies with revenues between £5 million and £25 million for acquisitions. Its approach spans early-stage growth through mature buyout situations, with no fixed holding period — exits range from quick sales to partnerships lasting over ten years.

New World describes itself as sector agnostic and has completed transactions in financial services, renewable energy, product distribution, e-commerce, digital media, technology, leisure, and consumer. No explicit sector exclusions are disclosed.
