What they look for

Schroders Capital focuses on finding the "leaders of the future" by targeting structural inefficiencies in the small and mid-market segments (companies with enterprise values below $1 billion). Their thesis is built on the premise that smaller companies offer lower entry multiples, lower leverage requirements, and significantly more avenues for operational value creation compared to large-cap buyouts. In venture capital, they focus on "multi-polar innovation," backing disruptive technologies across distributed global hubs rather than relying on a single market cycle.
