How we empower…

The Equity Power Fund (EPF) is a regulated Luxembourg Specialised Investment Fund focusing on private equity investment. The fund provides a unique opportunity for investors to benefit in the growth and development of small to medium-sized businesses, through asset backed or secured capital investment.

EPF invests globally, in companies across a broad range of industries

and geographies. In addition to applying capital, we invest our time and experience to achieve our goals

and objectives. We take an active, hands-on approach to overseeing and

managing opportunities, developing trusted partnerships with strong companies where our capital can

unlock value by serving as a catalyst for growth.

Our underlying approach to private equity investing is our focus on capital preservation and risk mitigation. Even in highly volatile economical environments, we believe that tangible collateral and diversified cash flows provide a foundation of long term investment value, as well as a platform from which companies can achieve meaningful growth.
