Trilantic Capital Partners

Trilantic Capital Partners was established in 2009 when five founding partners acquired Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking (LBMB) from the bankruptcy estate of Lehman Brothers. The firm's roots date back to LBMB's founding in 1986 as the private equity arm of Lehman Brothers. The spin-out was supported by Reinet Investments S.C.A, a Luxembourg-based vehicle controlled by the Rupert family.

The firm operates through two primary arms: Trilantic North America and Trilantic Europe. It specializes in management buyouts, recapitalizations, growth equity, and corporate divestitures, typically utilizing equity and equity-linked securities for its transactions. As of 2019, the firm has managed six institutional private equity funds.

Trilantic's investment activity is diversified across several key sectors. In North America, the firm focuses on business services, consumer, energy, and financial services. In Europe, the focus extends to healthcare, industrials, leisure, and technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT). Notable recent activity includes the 2022 acquisition of Kantar Public, which later rebranded as Verian.
