Lancea Partners Limited is an independent private equity, hedge fund and corporate finance advisory boutique based in London. It specialises in advisory and placement services for established and emerging alternative investment funds and emerging high growth companies.

Lancea utilises its experienced team to provide senior "hands-on" execution for a select number of fund management and corporate clients each year. Lancea services encompasses advice, structuring, preparation, and marketing of alternative investment funds (or their underlying portfolios) and direct investment opportunities. Investors covered are predominantly institutional, family office, corporate and other sophisticated investors, particularly "high net worths",  based in the UK and Continental Europe but also investors in Canada, Middle East and Australasia.

Lancea extends its reach globally through its network of alliances with similar firms in Europe, USA, the Middle East and Australasia, thereby enhancing and supporting distribution to potential investors. The Lancea network also comprises a number of specialist corporate advisers that can support specific tasks or geographic assignments. Lancea believes that a targeted approach from a cohesive group of seasoned individuals that have strong personal relationships with a range of investors, especially amongst family offices, high net worths and specialised institutions, can often yield superior results than the less flexible approach of a larger placement agency. This can be particularly important in the context of "emerging" funds and companies, Lancea's principal area of focus, where family office relationships can be one of the keys to a successful fundraise.  The name LANCEA, Latin for "spear", underlines this philosophy.

Founded in 2005, Lancea was formed through the merger of the respective businesses of its founding partners in order to exploit the synergies inherent in their complementary markets.  All Lancea clients - from alternative fund managers to corporates as well as investors - benefit from the partners' depth of experience in the distribution of venture capital, private equity and hedge funds, in addition to extensive public and private corporate advisory and fundraising work.
