Institutional Investors

Institutional investors include pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, Sovereign Wealth Funds, endowments and foundations.

The BVCA welcomes family office LPs with £20m+ invested in European private equity and venture capital.

If institutional investors’ and family offices’ core private equity and venture capital strategy is direct investing then the Direct Investor membership category should be applicable.
