Bridgepoint Group is a British private investment company that specializes in private equity and credit, listed as a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

Bridgepoint was founded in 1984 as NatWest Equity Partners, the private equity arm of NatWest bank. The firm gained independence through a management buyout in May 2000, subsequently rebranding as Bridgepoint Capital and later Bridgepoint Advisers. Since its independence, the firm has raised several multibillion-euro funds, focusing primarily on middle-market buyouts and development capital across Europe and other international markets.

In recent years, Bridgepoint has significantly expanded its global footprint and product offerings. The firm listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2021 and acquired Energy Capital Partners in 2023 to enhance its infrastructure and renewables presence. Most recently, the firm has continued to scale its operations with the acquisition of restructuring firm Interpath and the launch of its Europe VIII fund with a target of 7.5 billion euros.
