Business model / Oakley Capital (Investment Adviser)
The Oakley Difference
Why does OCI choose Oakley Capital as its valued Investment Adviser? Oakley Capital is a pan-European private equity investor that partners with founders and management teams with ambitions to grow their businesses and unlock their full potential.
Oakley invests in companies across the life cycle, with the majority of the Private Equity Funds portfolio covering small-mid and mid-market buyout transactions. In recent years, Oakley has expanded its strategy to also cover venture and growth tech funds. Across these four strategies, Oakley invests in four sectors: Technology, Education, Consumer and Business Services.
K12 (Fund VI)
£26m
In September, Oakley Fund VI invested new capital into the K12 Investments portfolio, which includes the Affinitas Group, a leading international schools group, and Thomas’s London Day Schools, a family-run group of co-educational independent schools.
Brevo
£20m
In November, Oakley Fund VI invested in Brevo, a leading global customer engagement software platform based in France. Brevo provides an intuitive, multi-channel customer relationship management (‘CRM’) software suite to businesses of all sizes worldwide.
Bridewell
£18m
In May, Oakley Fund V portfolio company I‑TRACING, the leading independent provider of cybersecurity services in France, completed a strategic combination with Bridewell, the UK’s leading provider. The partnership creates the largest independent pure-play cybersecurity group in Europe. A portion of Oakley Fund V’s investment was subsequently syndicated to an Oakley co-investment.
G3
£17m
In July, Oakley Fund VI acquired a majority stake in G3, a global strategic advisory consultancy. G3 helps clients manage their risk and enable opportunities by providing reputational and strategic intelligence, dispute advice and cyber consulting.
Clio (Origin II)
£14m
In December, the Origin II Fund acquired a minority stake in Clio, a global leader in legal AI technology. This deal was a rare opportunity to invest in a business of this scale and class, which Origin II was able to access following the sale of Oakley Capital Origin’s portfolio company vLex to Clio during the year.
