Umbra Capital Partners
is a private merchant bank,
advising, improving and
investing in mid-market companies.

What we do

Private, modern, aligned merchant banking.

We founded Umbra as a private merchant bank, to help solve the biggest problems facing entrepreneurs, management teams and owners. 

Our offering comprises of three distinct pillars: Advisory, Capital and Wealth. 

Our advisory function exists to offer sophisticated, unbiased, and quality advisory services for companies of all sizes. We always want to have skin in the game, so typically co-invest and roll our fees into each transaction. 

For principal investing, we invest across the capital structure in situations where we can drive value. Our family-backed, investment vehicle allows us to be flexible, fast-moving and long-term investors. 

Our wealth management offering is focused on providing a comprehensive offering at a fair cost. Our unique, tri-focus structure allows our wealth management clients exclusive access to our private capital deal flow.
