Who We Are

A London-based boutique merchant bank specialising in private markets.

VA Investments is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA, FRN 1003843). We originate, structure, and distribute differentiated investment opportunities across Private Equity, Private Debt, and Emerging Strategies — supporting fund managers, corporate sponsors, and institutional investors throughout the full transaction lifecycle.

Our operating model integrates advanced analytics and behavioural finance into every stage of a mandate, from positioning and documentation through to investor targeting, negotiation, and post-closing relationship management. The result is a senior boutique team that operates with the structure, precision, and intelligence of an institutional platform.

We work across a curated international network of allocators — institutional investors, family offices, sovereign and pension funds — and strategic counterparties, including investment banks and alternative asset managers.

Our activity is organised around three core disciplines: Private Equity, Private Debt, and Emerging Strategies. Every engagement is led by a partner, supported by a structured six-phase process, and informed by proprietary analytics across investor targeting, negotiation, and relationship management.
