DH Private Equity Ltd. (until 2017: Doughty Hanson & Co ) is a British investment firm founded in 1985 by Nigel Doughty and Richard Hanson. She works in the areas of private equity ; the company's core product is its European LBO fund with an investment focus on mid-market (medium-sized transactions) in Europe. In the past, DH also managed two other separate products: opportunistic European real estate funds and European venture capital funds.
background
On February 4, 2012, Nigel Doughty died. DH announced in February 2013 that it would not raise any further real estate or technology venture funds. DH has since focused exclusively on its expiring fund for medium-sized European LBOs. As a result, all international offices were closed (Stockholm, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, Paris and New York). In May 2017 the company was renamed DH Private Equity.
In Germany
The private equity division became known in Germany through investments in the parking garage operator APCOA , the auto parts dealer ATU and the electrical engineering company Moeller ; In the meantime, however, all three investments have been sold and the office in Frankfurt has been closed. The venture capital branch, founded in 2000, operated from London and Munich. The fund volume in December 2005 was over 272 million euros. The headquarters of the Handelsblatt in Düsseldorf was owned by the real estate division . This was taken over in 2000 with the real estate portfolio of the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group .
