International Perspective. Leadership & Partnership.
With experience across the UK and European markets, we bring a cross-border perspective to investment strategy. Our understanding of international trends, regulatory environments and market dynamics allows us to identify opportunities that may be overlooked by others, while helping portfolio companies expand successfully beyond domestic markets.
Novel Capital Group's investment team comprises professionals with deep experience across private equity, corporate strategy, and operations. We work closely with management teams to refine strategic direction, optimise operational performance, and support initiatives that create lasting competitive advantage.
We believe that strong leadership at both the investor and portfolio company level is critical. By providing mentorship, governance oversight, and practical support, we help management teams navigate complex challenges and seize growth opportunities with confidence.

Our team combines deep sector knowledge with hands-on operational experience. This blend allows us to identify attractive opportunities, support ambitious management teams, and drive meaningful growth in every business we back.
At the core of our approach is a simple belief: value is created through collaboration. We seek to build trusted relationships with management teams, providing not only capital but also the strategic insight and operational support needed to scale businesses effectively.
We take a long-term view, prioritising sustainable growth and resilience over short-term gains. Our role extends beyond providing capital as we believe in long-term partnerships that extend beyond financial investment. We are active partners, working alongside management teams to help shape strategies, unlock opportunities and accelerate growth as we are focused on delivering consistent, risk-adjusted returns through a disciplined and transparent process.
