CARTESIAN CAPITAL GROUP

Thesis

Cartesian Capital Group, founded in 2006, is a global private equity and growth equity firm based in New York City. Their core strategy is to build and grow businesses internationally by providing growth capital to closely held companies. They employ a disciplined, opportunistic, and global investment approach, identifying long-term economic continuities and short-term market dislocations to target companies with lasting fundamental value. Cartesian actively partners with management teams to foster growth through organic expansion, strategic combinations, opportunistic aggregation, and asset transformation, rather than traditional buyouts. They utilize creative deal structures, intelligent valuations, and a strong emphasis on risk management and corporate governance, with experience in instruments like preferred securities, convertible securities, option-based instruments, and royalties. The firm invests across various sectors including insurance, mining, communications and network, life sciences, digital health, fintech, and industrial sectors, with a particular focus on emerging markets. Cartesian has managed over $3 billion in committed capital and, as of December 31, 2025, managed $863,216,519 in regulatory assets. They have committed over $2.5 billion to more than 70 companies.
