L Catterton

Founded in 1989 as Catterton-Simon Partners, the firm initially focused on investments in well-known American consumer brands like P.F. Chang's and Odwalla. In 2016, the firm underwent a significant transformation by merging with the private equity operations of LVMH and Bernard Arnault's family office, Financière Agache, to form L Catterton. This partnership expanded the firm's reach into European and Asian markets, combining global luxury expertise with structured private equity strategies.

The firm operates across six distinct fund platforms, including global buyouts, growth equity, and real estate. L Catterton is recognized as one of the largest consumer-focused investment firms in the world, consistently ranking high on the PEI 300 list. Its investment portfolio spans various consumer segments, including food and beverage, retail, beauty, wellness, and fitness, with notable recent expansions into specialty healthcare and premium lifestyle brands.
