Investment thesis
Quest for Growth runs a diversified portfolio that integrates two asset classes: shares in smaller companies listed on European stock exchanges alongside private venture and growth capital positions and fund commitments. It targets innovative companies in digital, health, and clean technology, favoring long-term, conviction-led holdings that allow deeper understanding of each business. Private investments are made through or alongside the venture and growth funds of manager Capricorn Partners, creating synergies. Classified as an Article 8 fund under SFDR, it promotes environmental and social characteristics and emphasizes transparency, giving investors combined access to venture/growth capital and small-cap listed equities.
