Our Story
Who We Are
Capital 3 is a private investment office and advisory firm specialising in private equity and debt investments across the UK, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
One of the core competencies of Capital 3 lies in capital raising, underwriting, structuring, and placement services for real estate investments spanning a wide range of profiles and sectors. Our established clients include developers, land promoters, institutional funds, asset managers, family offices, and wealth managers.
We have been actively engaged in private equity and debt transactions across both investment and development assets, covering residential and commercial sectors and utilising a variety of funding structures.
Our team brings extensive experience in capital raising and placement, with deep expertise in both mainstream and niche markets across the UK, Europe, the US, and the Middle East.
We pride ourselves on our understanding of private financial markets and our ability to both invest and raise capital through a trusted network of private capital providers — high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and wealth managers — as well as institutional sources including funds and banks, all with broad international coverage.
With nearly £1bn in real estate investments across the UK, Europe, the US, and the Middle East, we turn capital into global opportunity.

Prior to founding Capital 3, Jevgeni’s skillset was also utilised in hiring and developing investment teams, assisting investor relations teams in capital raising and reporting activities, originating and underwriting investment and lending opportunities, structuring and managing transactions through their life cycle until exit.
