Off-Cycle Analyst Intern – Amsterdam

IK Partners (“IK”) is a European private equity firm focused on investments in the Benelux, DACH, France, Nordics and the UK. Since 1989, IK has raised more than €20 billion of capital and invested in over 200 European companies. IK supports companies with strong underlying potential, partnering with management teams and investors to create robust, well-positioned businesses with excellent long-term prospects. For more information, visit ikpartners.com.

IK's prime target markets include the Nordics, Benelux, France, DACH and more recently the UK. Headquartered in London, IK has additional offices in France, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden for its dedicated regional investment teams, consisting of over 90 investment professionals.

An important element of IK's strategy is to invest in companies that are well-positioned in their incumbent markets and to transform them into European or global market leaders through geographic expansion as well as strategic and operational improvement. IK believes that the successful execution of this strategy requires both an intimate knowledge of local markets as well as a strong international reach. Therefore, IK takes a multi-regional approach by organising the investment team into five regional teams focused on investments in the Benelux, Nordics, France, DACH and UK.

IK has been one of the most active and well-known PE funds in the Benelux market through recent deals, such as the sale of Signature Foods (known amongst others for its Johma and Heks’nkaas brands) and acquisitions of YouSure and Innovad. IK’s Amsterdam office is home to both the Benelux Mid Cap team, Benelux Small Cap team and Benelux Dev Cap team, currently consisting of thirteen investment professionals in total. The teams focus on investments with enterprise values of up to €150 million (Small Cap) and €1.2 billion (Mid Cap), partnering with entrepreneurs who are looking for support to help them achieve the next stage of their company’s growth and development.
