The firm's suite of enabling technologies provide a set of operational levers to turbo-charge value creation.

Approach

Identify / Simplify / Transform

Private equity expertise, proven operational experience and proprietary technologies. It’s a powerful combination with which the FSC team transforms the fortunes of our portfolio companies – and delivers greater value to our investors.

Identify

Proprietary target identification

Focused on the European financial services industry, our deep sector know-how means we can proactively identify new opportunities and unlock latent potential. FSC has unparalleled access through its highly experienced senior team of investors, operators and senior advisors which, supported by in-house research capabilities, generates off-market proprietary deal flow at attractive prices. Due to our unique approach, we’re well placed to move swiftly and decisively in a sector that continues to fall short of its potential for tech-enabled transformation.

How we work

Enabling Technologies

Bringing a proprietary portfolio of Enabling Technologies to bear for financial services firms, their customers and our partners.

The European financial services market is facing unprecedented change. Digitisation is driving higher customer expectations, and it’s time for firms to get on board – or get left behind.

Our Enabling Technologies provide a unique set of operational levers to improve the processes and customer focus of financial service providers. From Cloud Based Systems to Digital Payments to Big Data Analytics, we introduce the systems to streamline operations, reduce turnaround times and deliver sustainable, transformative growth.

star blue-main-star Thanks to our operational expertise in this exact jurisdiction, along with our suite of Enabling Technologies, we can effect 20 years of tech-driven value creation in one private equity hold period by bringing decades-latent infrastructure up-to-date. While our core value-proposition has been and will be a persistent differentiator, now our timing is prescient with valuations in Europe at historic lows. There’s no other market you can do this in, and there’s no other team you can do this with.
