About this investor

Bridgepoint manages and advises investment funds. Selected relationships include itsu, Burger King UK, mydentist and Monica Vinader. [1][2][3][4]

These are selected investments, rather than a complete portfolio or shareholder register. Fund investments and client assets have separate ownership from the investment manager's corporate balance sheet. Each holding retains its evidence date and individual or shared investment scope. Burger King UK is a franchise operating platform: Restaurant Brands International retains the global brand. itsu's current portfolio entry describes a minority investment through Restaurant Concepts International. mydentist's credit providers are not treated as equity owners. [5][1][6]

Each card names the entity invested in. Linked companies and brands can sit below that entity. Stakes use the source’s definition and date; disclosures are selected and do not give a complete portfolio or investor register. Read the investor methodology.
