Industrials Edition: Ranking the most active investors in the European industrial sector
In our inaugural report, “The Europe 250,” we ranked the most active investors on the continent. For a more granular look, we take this one level deeper, assessing investors from a sectoral and geographical perspective. We kick this off by analyzing and ranking the largest and most active investors in the European Industrials sector. Our ranking is based on the size of the underlying portfolio and is calculated with the help of our proprietary algorithm.
Compared to some existing global investor rankings based on recent fundraising activity, we have chosen a novel approach in order to capture the geographical element as well as the investor specific (fund-related) technicalities. Given we at Gain.pro track investor portfolios on an asset level with the most complete and high quality information available on the market, we are well-positioned to construct a more accurate ranking. This ranking is determined by the total managed EV of each investor, calculated by multiplying the number of European Industrials portfolio companies by the median portfolio EBITDA and a predicted EBITDA multiple derived from a proprietary valuation algorithm developed by Gain.pro.

Methodology
The ranking is determined by the total managed EV of each investor, calculated by multiplying the number of European Industrials portfolio companies by the median portfolio EBITDA and a predicted EBITDA multiple derived from a proprietary valuation algorithm developed by Gain.pro. Moreover, the managed EV is adjusted when the investor primarily engages in minority investments.
Investors who have executed less than 3 investments in Europe between January 2018 and September 2023 are excluded from the ranking. The median portfolio EBITDA calculation only includes companies with a positive EBITDA, and the ranking only includes investors with more than 4 EBITDA positive investments in Europe. Therefore, this ranking is focused on traditional buyout investments vs. growth investments.
Fundraising data, investor entries and exits refer to a timeframe from January 2018 to September 2023. Fundraising data includes investors’ global strategies and is not restricted to Europe only.
