Our Investment Philosophy
We operate from growth stage to large capital stage. We invest across all asset classes with a flexible, long-term investment focus on capital structure: Buy-out, secondary markets and infrastructure funds. In addition, we have interest in co-investment opportunities and direct smaller secondaries. Our geographical preferences are Europe & Middle East.
Capacity for Internationalization
The prospective company's market potential is a key factor to take into
account when thinking about an acquisition. Typically, this also covers
the potential for global expansion. In this sense, strong prospects and a
distinct product concept are critical brand needs.
Majority Share
We hope to be able to influence company and product strategies because we
are actively involved in our businesses, collaborate closely with our
partners, and do so by aiming to obtain a majority interest or to buy
entire companies. This could also refer to a gradual takeover within the
context of a succession plan.
Vertical scalability
Our experience has shown us that businesses with standalone, vertical
product and sales structures have the best chance of expanding and adding
value. As a result, we are particularly interested in businesses that
exhibit a high level of independent verticality.
Cultural Roots
We've learned from our entrepreneurial expertise that different cultural
characteristics add substantial depth and stability. Therefore, we favor
businesses and families who, like us, have expertise working with
customers from the Middle East and Europe.
