Out Investors is a global network that aims to bring together LGBTQIA+ investment professionals and their allies from private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, and other asset management firms. Pride Month is a wonderful time to celebrate the diversity and inclusivity within the community. This year, the London chapter of Out Investors hosted a memorable Pride Event overlooking Green Park in central London. The event was co-organised by Advent International, Bain Capital, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), Permira, and ICG. This collaboration across our five firms fostered an incredible sense of unity and camaraderie helping bring the Out Investors’ community closer together. The event was a huge success for the third year running, providing a platform for investment professionals and colleagues to network and celebrate Pride on a roof terrace bathed in splashes of sunshine. A heartfelt thank you to all those who attended this fantastic event and a special thank you to those who helped organise it. The OutInvestors Pride Event continues to grow stronger each year, reflecting the strength and resilience of our community. We are already buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming events and can’t wait to celebrate Pride 2025 🔗 ICG Together Network: https://lnkd.in/ekC_Skrt #Pride #PrideMonth #PrivateMarkets #PrivateCapital #Alternatives

Amolyt Pharma is a clinical stage biotechnology company. Its expert team delivers life-changing treatments to patients suffering from rare endocrine and related diseases. ICG co-led the €130 million (approx. $138m) Series C equity financing in January 2023, with Toby Sykes, Managing Director in the ICG Life Sciences team, taking a board position in Amolyt. 💬 Toby commented: “Amolyt is a perfect example of the companies that we seek to support – a high quality European business that is developing innovative products addressing significant unmet need. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to contribute to the success of Amolyt, and wish Thierry Abribat and the Amolyt team every success in the future.” 🔗 Read AstraZeneca announcement: https://lnkd.in/er8XPX-J 🔗 Discover how our Life Sciences team is unlocking opportunities that have a positive impact on families’ lives: https://lnkd.in/e6Y9bNhJ 🔗 Explore ICG Life Sciences: https://lnkd.in/eGpcKCPd At ICG we: 💡 Provide flexible, sustainable solutions 🎯 Drive performance 💫 Operate with purpose Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | #LifeSciences #BioTech #Pharma #Healthcare #Biotechnology #RareDiseases #Endocrine #Hypoparathyroidism #Acromegaly #PrivateMarkets #Alternatives #PrivateCapital #Alts Capital at risk.
