European Reach and cross-border M&A

The UK and Europe, with a foot in São Paulo and Dubai

A UK and European private capital platform.

GestInvest works in the UK and, from London, across selected markets — Paris, Geneva, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Dubai and São Paulo — through direct relationships.

Positioning

Cross-border by design.

Many GestInvest situations start in the UK and reach across Europe. GestInvest acts as the link between markets, capital and owners.

—A buyer in one country, a seller in another
—International capital for a UK company
—A family with wealth across several jurisdictions
—An investor seeking assets across Europe
—A UK company acquiring in continental Europe
—A European hotel or asset promoted to international capital

How we work

One transaction, several jurisdictions.

The seller is in one country, the buyer in another, the vehicle is set up in a third and the family wealth sits across two more. GestInvest leads the transaction end to end as a single point of contact.
