Earlier this month, Lovell acquired a majority of SRS Acquiom, which provides professional and technical services to some of the biggest names in PE and venture capital.

The private equity firm in July announced its buy of National Auto Care, which provides automotive protection products, from Trivest Partners.

Lovell also owns a minority of Mercer Advisors, which acquired Financial & Investment Management Group Ltd and Sigma Investment Management Co in separate transactions earlier in November.
