YFM Equity Partners has appointed Roux Brits as Portfolio Director. Based in the London office, Roux will focus on actively managing YFM’s Growth and Buyout investment portfolio as part of the national portfolio team led by David Bell.

Roux’s appointment follows a strong recent investment period for YFM, with seven new investments from its Growth and Buyout funds during 2019, plus a number of additional new deals expected to complete soon.  YFM added almost £100m to its investment capacity last year, including a £60m first close of Buyout Fund II. With this significant growth funding capacity, further growth in portfolio numbers is expected over the coming years.
