Access offers separate European Mid-market buy-out and Technology Funds of funds as well as mandates for specific clients with specific allocations. European Mid-market Buy-out Funds of funds invest with best in class teams managing small to mid-sized growth buy-out funds, sector focused and special situation funds, with size ranging from €100m to €1bn. Access’ fund selection favours value creation predominantly through top-line growth and operational improvement rather than over-reliance on financial engineering. European Technology Funds of funds aim at selecting best performing fund managers within the space of technology, operating in the leading European technology clusters: UK, France, Germany or Nordic countries. Access covers the technology sectors and sub-sectors within the Information and Communications Technologies, and to a lesser extent the life science segment. To optimise the risk/return profile and take the fullest advantage of the current technology environment, Access includes a significant proportion of later-stage and technology buy-out funds.
