Our team works with companies to help them achieve their full potential and continue to grow, and our track record has included many successful start-ups, founder-led companies, turnarounds and carve-outs from larger corporate partners.

We help companies improve their competitive position by expanding into new products and markets, growing productivity and strengthening their operations. Ultimately, we believe our growth-oriented model results in stronger companies that employ the best people, are socially responsible, and deliver strong returns over the long-term.

Building and Growing Great Companies

CITI EQUITY Private Equity pioneered the value-added approach to private equity investing. We were among the first private equity firms to establish a dedicated global portfolio group staffed with operating and strategy professionals who partner with management teams. Our portfolio group, in conjunction with our investment professionals – most of whom come from strategic consulting backgrounds, form a collaborative team that enables us to create lasting impact for our portfolio companies and helps them reach their full potential.



Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Management

CITI EQUITY Private Equity utilizes a strategic, fact-based and diligence-driven investment approach that by definition includes a multitude of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. We believe that these ESG practices lead to better investment outcomes while considering the firm’s broader impacts on the environment and society.
