About Us

Hanover Investors is a London-based public & private equity investor, founded in 2002, with a unique  franchise and reputation in its space. We take a private equity approach to public market investing either taking large minority stakes in listed businesses, or taking listed businesses private. Our returns are rooted in driving transformational changes – typically through operational changes, acceleration of growth or via M&A – which we achieve by joining the Board and/or taking executive positions in our portfolio companies. To date, the strategy has delivered 40%+ IRRs consistently over 18 years.

Hanover Investors is a small team environment with a hands-on approach and a culture of self-direction and entrepreneurialism. Our portfolios are concentrated, requiring deep analysis, more consistent with a private rather than public equity investors. Personality is as important in this regard.
