Thesis
Waterland Private Equity Investments, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Bussum, Netherlands, is a leading European buy-and-build specialist. The firm's core investment thesis focuses on identifying 'lifestyle inflection points' and accelerating company growth through a buy-and-build strategy. This involves partnering with successful companies in fragmented and growing markets to strengthen their competitive position and drive sustainable growth. They emphasize proactive deal sourcing and long-term partnerships with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach. The firm's investment focus includes sectors driven by trends such as an ageing population, digitalization & outsourcing, leisure & wellbeing, and sustainability. They are particularly interested in medium-sized enterprises with strong market positions and expansion potential. As of April 2026, Waterland announced the closing of two new funds, Waterland Private Equity Fund X (€4 billion) and Waterland Partnership Fund II (€600 million), bringing their total capital raised to €4.6 billion and total AUM to over €20 billion. Waterland operates across an integrated network of 13 European offices with a global investor base.
