Schroders Capital

Schroders Capital is the private markets division of Schroders plc, managing approximately $90 billion in assets across private equity, private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and insurance-linked securities. Schroders Capital was formally established as a unified brand in 2021, bringing together the private markets capabilities of one of the world’s oldest and largest asset management firms.

Investment Strategy

Schroders Capital operates a diversified private markets platform spanning five asset classes. The private equity business invests through fund-of-funds programs, secondary transactions, co-investments, and direct growth equity strategies. The team focuses on small and mid-market opportunities where Schroders Capital believes operational improvement and growth potential are most pronounced. The firm’s private equity heritage includes the former Adveq brand, a Swiss-based private equity fund-of-funds manager that Schroders acquired.

The private credit platform covers direct lending, asset-based lending, specialty finance, and structured credit across European and North American markets. The real estate business manages direct property portfolios and real estate securities strategies in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America. Schroders Capital’s infrastructure team invests in core and core-plus infrastructure assets including renewables, digital infrastructure, and essential services.

The insurance-linked securities (ILS) business, operating through Schroders Capital ILS, is one of the largest dedicated ILS managers globally, investing in catastrophe bonds and other insurance-linked instruments.

Private Markets Approach

Schroders Capital’s approach to private markets leverages the broader Schroders platform, including its global research capabilities, risk management frameworks, and institutional distribution network. The private equity fund-of-funds program maintains relationships with hundreds of general partners and evaluates thousands of fund opportunities annually.

The firm’s secondary practice provides portfolio management flexibility and vintage year diversification. Schroders Capital’s co-investment program offers investors direct deal access alongside established GP partners. The firm has also developed impact and sustainability-oriented private markets strategies aligned with its responsible investment commitments.
