Capital Venture Partners (Capvent), the Zurich-based private equity fund investment firm, has won a mandate to advise RenditeWertBeteiligungen (RWB), the German fund of funds open to retail investors, and has opened a new office in the UK.

Capvent was set up in 2000 and invests in private equity funds and other alternative assets on behalf of institutional investors. Its client base is European, but it invests in funds in a variety of sectors in both Europe and the US. Thomas Clausen, managing general partner at Capvent, said that RWB selected Capvent because of its due diligence focused approach to fund investing.
