“We see plenty of strategic, commercial and operational improvement opportunities that we’ll tackle with Blackfin and reinforcements in our management and transformation team” – Ferdinand Veenman, Group CEO of Blauwtrust Groep

In January 2022, Blackfin Capital Partners became the majority shareholder of Blauwtrust Groep. Blackfin is a leading European PE investor specializing in financial services, with offices in Paris, London, Frankfurt, Brussels and soon Amsterdam. Blackfin is an active, influential investor, supporting management teams to take their companies to the next level. With Blackfin’s support, the newly appointed Blauwtrust management team  – CEO, CFO, COO, and CHRO – is looking to build Blauwtrust Groep into a pan-European product and service provider in the mortgage market. That means the company is focusing on organic growth, strategic transformations, and M&A.
