About Leo Holdings

A long-term investment platform built around disciplined capital.

Leo Holdings was established to bring principal capital, institutional investment discipline and a long-term partnership mindset to opportunities across public and selected private markets.

Our Purpose

A durable principal investment platform, not a high-volume transaction business.

We believe lasting value — for Leo Holdings and for the counterparties we work with — comes from doing a small number of transactions well. Our aim is to build a durable principal platform, not a high-volume transaction business.

  3. 03Institutional in process and counterparty standards.
