CedarBridge invests in solid and promising European and MENA companies and management teams. We then support them both financially and operationally to achieve exceptional growth.

Our investment style hinges on the following four values:

Innovative and independent strategic thinkers: Proprietary deals and strategies are crafted and originated by our investment team using its deep sector expertise and vast global networks

Financially creative, yet conservative: We have pioneered or adapted new financial structures like shariah compliant dividend recap, quasi equity instruments and sale lease back structures to the MENA private equity market

Operationally savvy and resourceful: The investment team and advisory board have deep sector knowledge and practical operational expertise to translate our investments strategies into successful returns

Focus on returns, not size: Absolute and relative returns are our focus. We focus on small deals because they are likely to yield the highest returns. This is what serves our investors best
