With five different private equity investment strategies, as well as investment teams working in Europe and North
America, Eurazeo has a wide range of  opportunities. By opening a subsidiary in New York in 2016 (Eurazeo North
America) and pursuing the goal of direct investment in North American  companies, Eurazeo is now active in the
number one private equity market in the world which has numerous players and a wide variety of opportunities.
The Capital and Brands investment strategies have made no fewer than eight direct investments in North Am erica
over the past three years.
Also, by structuring its activity around different investment strategies focusing investment on growth companies with
positive underlying economic trends, Eurazeo is able to identify and examine opportunities, and better un derstand
vendors at a very early stage. This approach of identifying non -brokered deals, offers a competitive edge in the sales
process and can reduce exposure to competition inherent to brokered deals.
To effectively support its deal flow, Eurazeo also ai ms to reinforce its business network and continually seeks to further
its understanding of strategic sectors. Teams are dedicated to creating investment opportunities, relying on a digital
deal flow monitoring process. Eurazeo has formed a team of American  and French investors as part of the roll -out of
its activities in the United States (Capital and Brands divisions). This team is supported by senior advisors with
considerable experience in the industrial sector and an extensive business network in the Un ited States, valuable
in understanding the specific characteristics of the American private equity market. Finally, the strategic investment
in the management firm MCH in  Spain in 2019 marks a new stage in Eurazeo’s ambition to develop its international
network and become a major European player.
