Trilantic Capital Partners (Trilantic) is a global private equity firm focused on control and significant minority investments across a range of industries in North America and Europe managed by Trilantic North America and Trilantic Europe. The firm specializes in management buyouts, recapitalizations, growth equity, middle market investments and corporate divestitures investments. Trilantic invests through equity and equity-linked securities transactions.

Trilantic North America primarily targets investments in the business services, consumer, energy and financial services sectors; Trilantic Europe primarily targets investments in the business services, consumer & leisure, healthcare, industrial and TMT sectors. The firm currently manages four institutional private equity funds with aggregate capital commitments of approximately $6.0 billion, as of December 2013.

Trilantic was formed in 2009 by five founding partners, all of whom had worked together at Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking (“LBMB”). LBMB was founded in 1986 during the 1980s leveraged buyout boom as the private equity arm of Lehman Brothers. In April 2009, Trilantic acquired LBMB out of the bankruptcy estate of Lehman Brothers with the support of Reinet Investments S.C.A, a Luxembourg securitization vehicle controlled by the Rupert family and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
