Investment APPROACH

Our mission is to work in partnership with the management teams and shareholders of our investee companies to create long-term value for all stakeholders.

Building upon our team’s extensive expertise and track record in private equity, and on our Board of Directors’ entrepreneurial background, we seek to be an active partner to management, not only providing funding resources but also offering strategic support stretching beyond sole financial participation.

TARGET MARKETS

Our target markets are Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Switzerland.

INVESTMENT SIZE

Our typical investment ranges between €10m and €25m. For opportunities requiring higher capital investments, we partner with our established network of financial co-investors.

TRANSACTION TYPE

We pursue investment opportunities in a multitude of situations, including buy-outs, growth capital, sale of minority stakes, succession and corporate spin-offs. In some situations, we also grant hybrid instruments and participate in follow-ons to meet the needs of our investee companies and co-investors.
