What is ICG Enterprise Trust ?

ICG Enterprise Trust is an equity investor that specializes in providing shareholders with access to a diversified portfolio of investments in profitable, cash-generative unquoted companies, mainly in Europe and the US. Founded in 1981 and based in London, England, the trust has a focus on investing in buyouts in North America and Europe.

By working with ICG and other leading private equity managers, the fund serves both direct investments and commitments through funds.

The trust is committed to delivering attractive long-term returns through a focus on defensive growth strategies and leveraging a global network. The trust's portfolio includes investments in various sectors, displaying their versatility and commitment to growth.

Their approach emphasizes responsible investing while taking into account environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. ICG Enterprise Trust monitors their portfolio for sustainable practices, investing in businesses that align with their values.

Apart from directly held investments, the trust also engages in secondary private equity deals, aiming to make private equity more rewarding and accessible. The strategy revolves around selecting businesses that demonstrate strong potential for growth and are backed by management teams with considerable industry experience.
