Real Deals, Quoted

"Greece has come out of its bailout this year and Omiros Sarikas, the founder of Brookstreet Equity Partners is a dealmaker pioneering the development of the asset class in the country as it emerges from the painful fallout of the financial crisis. Sarikas has led the raise of a debut fund that will focus on investing in Greek companies and helping them internationalise.

2026: Actum Private Equity Value Creation Forum & Awards

We are pleased to share that Brookstreet Equity Partners LLP has been awarded the winner of the Actum Group Private Equity Value Creation Awards 2026 Growth Category.

The scale and quality of this year’s awards set a notably high benchmark.

With over 300 GOP submissions, 23 award categories (four per category), the finalist cohort represented the upper tier of global private capital. Firms present across categories included TPG (~$220bn AUM), CVC Capital Partners (~€200bn+ AUM), Advent International (~$90bn+ AUM), Permira (~€80bn AUM), Artemis (~£25bn AUM), and Montagu (~€13bn AUM), among others.

Within our category, we were shortlisted alongside Maven Capital Partners, Elaghmore, and Cairngorm Capital (each ~£1bn AUM)—a strong peer group operating at meaningful scale within the growth segment.

Equally notable was the presence of leading institutional LPs, including the European Investment Fund (~€100bn+ commitments) and Mubadala Investment Company (~$280bn AUM), reinforcing the alignment between capital allocators and value creation practitioners.

What stands out is not just scale, but direction. Across both GPs and LPs, the emphasis is increasingly consistent: disciplined value creation, operational depth, and measurable outcomes. In that context, participation in this cohort is less about recognition and more about calibration—understanding where the industry is moving, and ensuring we remain positioned accordingly.

The Private Equity Value Creation Forum (17 March 2026) highlighted two defining operating priorities shaping the industry: AI and sustainability. Individually, they enhance performance. Together, they transform it. At Brookstreet, our next-generation talent continues to extend our proprietary AI-led value creation stack, embedding these capabilities across our firm and portfolios, while maintaining a disciplined, long-term commitment to sustainability

The awards ceremony took place on 19 March 2026 at the National Gallery, London.

We extend our congratulations to our fellow finalists and winners, and our sincere thanks to the organisers. We are equally grateful to our teams, whose relentless focus drives value across the portfolio, and to our investors for their continued trust and support.
