Private Equity

Lehman Brothers has been an active and successful private equity investor since 1984. Since then, Lehman Brothers' investment partnerships have managed a number of private equity portfolios, with a significant amount of the Firm's and employees' capital invested alongside that of our clients. 

Lehman Brothers and its employees typically comprise a significant amount of the capital committed to each of its private equity funds. Lehman Brothers' direct financial commitments to its private equity funds help align the Firm's interest with those of its limited partners.

Our dedicated Private Equity groups are enhanced by the breadth and depth of Lehman Brothers' global presence and expertise across a wide range of products, industries and geographies. Lehman Brothers creates funds and invests in asset classes where the Firm has strong capabilities, proprietary deal flow and an excellent reputation, to offer uniquely attractive investment opportunities for institutional and individual investors.

Currently, Lehman Brothers Private Equity invests in six main asset classes: Merchant Banking, Venture Capital, Real Estate, Credit Related Investments, Infrastructure and Private Fund Investments.

Assets Under Management
When Lehman Brothers entered the private equity business in 1984, it was one of the first investment banks to do so. The Private Equity Department currently manages a number of private equity portfolios, and has more than $20 billion in assets under management.
