 PROFILE
Candover Investments is looking for a few good deals. The investment firm specializes in buyouts, usually in conjunction with existing management, of media, chemical, financial services, consumer, and IT companies in the UK and Europe. Funds committed by Candover range from £20 million to £210 million. Candover often uses funds raised by subsidiary Candover Partners to fund the transaction. American investment firms entering the English market are tilting the playing field against this major British investment firm.
