About us
Lyrique is a private equity investor created by a team that has been active in the private equity industry since 1987. We deliver excellent performance; we are less interested in size.
We have been involved in all stages of private equity, ranging from early stage (venture capital) to late stage (buyouts and restructuring). We have been a direct investor in mostly European deals and we have been an investor in funds in the USA, Europe and Asia. When appropriate we have also run companies we invested in.
We do two things:
Fund investments
We work with family offices and with banks to make investments in the world’s best private equity and venture capital funds. We also co-invest with these funds.

Direct investments
We are a direct, niche investor in and around Switzerland. We are involved in those niches in which we have much to offer like in succession situations or in re-structuring.
