Ufenau Capital Partners

Founded in 2011, Ufenau Capital Partners is a privately owned Swiss private-equity investor headquartered near Lake Zurich. It invests primarily through majority stakes in profitable, asset-light service companies and works with founders and management teams on succession, growth and consolidation strategies.

Its geographic focus now extends beyond German-speaking Europe to Iberia, Benelux, Poland and the United Kingdom. Core sectors include business services, IT services, healthcare, education and lifestyle, and financial services.

Ufenau is especially associated with its systematic buy-and-build model: supporting organic growth while sourcing and integrating add-on acquisitions. The firm combines transaction execution with operational involvement through a network of industry partners, giving interns exposure to market research, valuation, live deals and portfolio-company development.
