Ripplewood Equity, a leading investor in the financial sector with headquarters in New York, is expanding its European network. In addition to the existing offices in Madrid and Frankfurt, the private equity company plans to open more locations to strengthen its European presence. This expansion is not limited to Europe only, as Ripplewood aims to set up more offices in Southeast Asia, China, and the Middle East later this year. Among these new locations, the opening of an EMEA-Headquarters in Dubai and a Southeast Asia office in Singapore is confirmed.

Ripplewood is known for its investment portfolio in financial institutions and is considered one of the most experienced and leading providers of investment opportunities in IPO, ETFs, and stock trading for institutional and private clients.

In Germany, Ripplewood gained public attention for the attempted takeover of Opel and the acquisition of Readers Digest, the traditional publishing corporation from the UK.

Since its establishment in 1995 by Timothy Collins, Ripplewood has invested around USD 10 billion in equity in various sectors in the USA, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and has a 25-year history of successful and reputable global investments. In Germany, Ripplewood recently acquired the automotive supplier Honsel. The experienced financial actor has invested in almost a dozen industry groups and companies with a revenue of more than USD 20 billion. Ripplewood has led several of the largest private equity transactions, including the acquisition of the Long-Term Credit Bank, which was later renamed Shinsei Bank and contributed to the restructuring of the Japanese economy.

Overall, the expansion of Ripplewood's network and reach demonstrates the company's commitment to growth and investment in both established and emerging markets around the world, and its dedication to providing innovative and diverse investment opportunities for its clients.
