Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Schroder Adveq Management?

Nils Rode serves as Chief Investment Officer of Schroders Capital, the parent platform, and is responsible for investment strategy across private equity, debt, real estate, and infrastructure. Stephen J. Mills acts as President and Executive Chairman of the Adveq entity specifically. Founder Bruno Raschle remains involved as Vice President of the Board and as an active co-investor.

How is Schroder Adveq Management related to Schroders plc?

Schroders plc, the publicly listed asset manager founded over 220 years ago, acquired Adveq Management in 2017. The Adveq team was subsequently integrated into Schroders Capital, the group’s private-markets division. Schroders Capital now houses multiple specialist investment teams, with the legacy Adveq operation serving as the private-equity hub in Zurich.

Does the firm operate as a single family office or an institutional asset manager?

It is an institutional asset manager, not a family office. The firm manages capital on behalf of third-party institutional and wealth clients globally. Its ownership sits with Schroders plc, a London-listed financial services group.

What does the firm invest in beyond private equity?

Schroders Capital deploys capital across five core capabilities: private equity (mid-market buyout and growth), private debt and credit alternatives, real estate, infrastructure (weighted toward energy transition), and multi-private-markets solutions that blend internal and external managers. The infrastructure and real estate strategies each run as dedicated verticals alongside the private-equity book.

Does Schroder Adveq participate in co-investments?

Yes, co-investment is a feature of the platform. Founder Bruno Raschle is noted as an active co-investor alongside the firm. The multi-private-markets solutions group also selects and blends allocations with external managers, which can include co-investment sleeves, though the firm does not publicly granularize co-investment pacing.

Is there a philanthropic or foundation vehicle linked to the firm?

The Schroders Group operates the Schroders plc Foundation and the Schroder Big Society Capital Social Impact Trust. These are corporate philanthropic and social-impact structures at the parent level, not direct vehicles of the Adveq entity.

What is the firm’s posture on responsible investing?

Schroders Capital, including the Adveq unit, is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. The firm integrates sustainability considerations into its investment process across asset classes and reports its activity through the parent group’s annual sustainability disclosures.
