Oakley Capital Investments - Update from QuotedData
4 February 2026
Evolving European strategy hitting its stride
Oakley Capital's recent investment activity highlights its growing focus on continental Europe, especially Southern Europe, where many industries are not yet digital and private equity involvement is low.
A key example is Oakley's investment in Spanish legal tech firm vLex. After investing in 2022, Oakley helped vLex develop its artificial intelligence (AI) platform and expand into the US. The company was sold for $1bn, becoming one of the few Spanish tech start-ups to reach unicorn status. This deal delivered Oakley a gross return of 6.4 times its investment and an 87% IRR.
Oakley Capital Investments (OCI) offers shareholders access to similar private equity opportunities from Oakley. With signs of recovery in Europe's private markets, OCI's 27.9% discount to NAV looks appealing.
