Our Story

PASSION AND
PERSISTENCE

Sovereign was founded by a small team of seasoned investment entrepreneurs that had a clear vision for the business.

They had a differentiated investment strategy plus the commitment and energy to make it a reality. This passion and persistence has led us to achieve a great deal in a relatively very short time.

A GAME CHANGER
FOR BUSINESSES

Since 2001 we have grown to a team of 40, managing close to £1bn of funds. We're renowned for 'Buy & Build' and have completed more than 350 transactions.

We have been pioneers: from finding specialist sectors to invest in, to building one of the most recognised research and origination teams in our market.

THE RESULT?

Not just successful returns, but an approach of active partnership with management teams that's a game-changer for businesses.

ACTIVE PARTNERS

We have built a team with skill, energy and a determination to succeed.

That team has been shaped by a strong culture that informs our decisions and reflects the successes achieved with the businesses and management teams we have the privilege to partner. That is what makes us stand out from our competitors. And our values are our DNA.

Meet the team

Tenacious, hardy, agile and
great-at-teamwork!

The penguin's attributes embody our founding spirit and continue to reflect our values today. That's why the Sovereign Penguin, fondly referred to by the team as Janet (for reasons unknown), is still our emblem today.
