Advent International

Advent International is a global private equity firm headquartered in Boston, with investment teams and portfolio companies spanning multiple regions. Its activity centres on buyouts and growth-oriented investments, made in partnership with management teams, entrepreneurs and founders, with the stated aim of transforming businesses and building long-term value.

The firm deploys across five sectors: business and financial services, consumer, healthcare, industrial and technology. Sector coverage is a defining feature of the model - global investment teams carry deep industry expertise and pair it with a broader network to develop value-creation plans alongside company leadership. The partnership approach is described as long-term, grounded in mutual respect, transparency and trust, and oriented towards responsible, sustainable growth.

Two product lines structure the investment activity: private equity investment partnerships, which combine specialised industry knowledge with close collaboration with management; and buyouts and growth-oriented investments executed across a portfolio of businesses in multiple regions. Advent positions itself as a partner through periods of change and growth rather than a passive capital provider.
