History

Silverfleet has been investing in private equity deals since the 1980s, having previously been the private equity arm of Prudential Plc and operating under the name PPM Capital.

Formerly owned by Prudential fund manager M&G, Silverfleet Capital was itself the subject of a management buyout in 2007.

‘Buy and build’ is one of Silverfleet’s key investment strategies, which has now become an accepted private equity industry term.

The firm is a member of the British Venture Capital Association and Invest Europe. In February 2011, Silverfleet became a signatory to the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Investment (“UNPRI”), one of the first signatories from the private equity community.
