Portobello Capital

Portobello Capital is the leading and the largest independent mid-market Private Equity Manager in Iberia + Italy with $2.5Bn AUM. The firm was founded in 2010 by what is today one of the longest standing teams in the sector, a group of pioneers (Íñigo Sánchez-Asiaín, Juan Luis Ramírez, Ramón Cerdeiras, and Luis Peñarrocha) who joined efforts to ensure continuity to private equity funds they had been advising since the 90s. With the most experienced and best-connected team of forty-two people, the firm invests in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and, opportunistically, in European growing businesses that operate in a diverse range of industries like food, manufacturing and services - excluding financial services and real estate. Portobello Capital takes controlling and minority stakes to boost company´s growth through levers like consolidation, professionalization, and internationalization. PBC has executed more than 50 transactions, it is currently invested in 22 companies and its priority is to continue delivering, through a disciplined methodology, risk – adjusted returns to investors across cycles and value to all stakeholders.
