For more than 20 years, we’ve been drawing on our industrial, commercial and local experience to identify and invest responsibly in companies with strong market positions, a sustainable competitive advantage and outstanding growth potential. We come together with experienced managers to acquire businesses where we can improve performance and create significant value.
We have a diversified approach to investing across four verticals: Advanced Industrials, Business & Financial Services, Consumer and Healthcare - with Technology as a horizontal as it touches everything everywhere. We invest in companies typically capitalised between €250 million and €1 billion, funding buyouts and buy-ins as well as helping companies de-list from the stock exchange.
As entrepreneurs with over €17 billion of assets under management, we aim to identify and partner with likeminded management teams behind a common cause: to accelerate organic growth in their businesses and target strategic add-on acquisitions, while driving operational best practice and efficiency.
After we’ve invested, we serve on portfolio company boards, sharing advice, expertise and experience, as well as adding value by helping to shape their strategic development with flat reporting lines and rapid decision-making. In return, we make sure the managers we back are motivated through equity participation and the opportunity of significant financial rewards for the value they create.
