Investment thesis
Draycott operates a multi-asset platform united by a disciplined, agile and responsible investing philosophy centered on long-term, sustainable value creation. Its core private equity and growth arm targets control positions in Iberian mid-market companies via buy-and-build, mid-market buyouts, large-cap deal-by-deal deals and R&D-driven growth vehicles. It also runs prime residential and hospitality real estate development plus open-ended income funds, an early-stage and Series A/B venture arm under the Shilling brand backing Portuguese founders, and a European PE fund of funds for Portuguese investors and family offices. Value creation comes through management professionalization, operational efficiency, market consolidation and international expansion.
