Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Trilantic Europe?
The firm is co-led by Jeremy Hand (Co-Founder & Managing Partner) along with a team of partners across each office. The investment committee is based in London and Luxembourg and makes final decisions on commitments above a certain threshold.
Is Trilantic Europe a single family office or an independent fund manager?
Trilantic Europe is structured as an independent asset manager, not a family office. It was founded by Jeremy Hand and Claus Wisser but raises institutional capital through fund vehicles and co-investment structures.
What investment stages does Trilantic Europe typically target?
The firm focuses on majority buyouts in the mid-market, typically acquiring controlling stakes in companies with enterprise values between €75M and €500M. Equity checks range from €25M to €150M per deal. Trilantic Europe also engages in growth equity transactions and infrastructure investments.
Which sectors does Trilantic Europe explicitly avoid?
The firm has historically avoided early-stage venture investments, pure technology startups with no revenue, and speculative real estate development. It avoids sectors like retail, hospitality, and fossil-fuel extraction.
How is Trilantic Europe related to Trilantic North America?
Trilantic Europe and Trilantic North America are separate entities under a shared brand name. They share no capital pools or investment committees, but collaborate on cross-border deal referrals and industry expertise. The European arm operates independently from its Luxembourg base.
Does Trilantic Europe participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Trilantic Europe primarily invests through its own fund vehicles (buyout and infrastructure funds) and direct co-investments alongside institutional LPs. It does not act as a fund-of-funds or invest in other managers' vehicles as a limited partner.
Where does the underlying wealth come from at Trilantic Europe?
The firm's capital base includes commitments from institutional investors (pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds) and family offices. The founding partners also maintain their own personal capital invested alongside funds.
