At Schroders Capital, we focus on one thing: identifying inefficiencies in private markets and using our specialist, expert edge to transform them into opportunity for our clients; professional institutional and wealth investors. We operate where complexity and barriers to entry are highest: - Lower mid-market private equity buyouts, continuation investments and early-stage and scale up venture to access multi-polar innovation - Infrastructure that responds to and accelerates the global energy transition - Future-proofed real estate shaped by new supply chains and workplace models - Private debt and credit alternatives filling gaps left by traditional lenders and capitalising on inefficiency in global capital markets These are high-growth segments where specialist expertise matters most – and where our teams typically have a first-mover advantage and leadership position. Our approach is simple: → Build scale where others don’t, or can’t, go → Apply operational and portfolio management expertise, not just capital → Leverage our conviction in segments we understand deeply In today’s market, broad exposure is no longer enough. Outperformance comes from knowing exactly where to play — and why. Across our platform, our teams combine: - Local sourcing networks - Deep sector specialisation and pioneering track record - Active portfolio management This allows us to identify opportunities others miss, and scale them. For our clients, this means: - Access to less crowded, typically mid-market segments across private markets - Strategies aligned to structural trends (energy transition, capital scarcity, supply chain shifts) - A focus on resilient, risk-adjusted returns All backed by Schroders’ 220+ year heritage and global investment platform. Private markets are evolving fast. We help our clients stay ahead of that change - not react to it.
