Private equity: participation in active value creation
By investing in private equity, investors participate in unlisted companies. The small and medium-sized market segment in particular offers promising returns. Targeted operational value creation measures enable long-term increases in value. Alongside equities, bonds and commodities, private equity is seen as a separate asset class that investors can use to further diversify their portfolio. In this way, they benefit from appropriate potential returns and a stabilisation of their overall assets.
Many years of experience in private equity
We have been offering our clients investments in the private equity asset class for over 20 years. We have been managing our own private equity fund of funds since 2008.
Our focus is on European and North American target funds. By actively constructing the portfolio, we reduce the overall risk and create the opportunity to generate returns in the private market segment.
Our strategy for success in the private equity sector
Strategy
We invest in target funds focussing on European and North American companies. We focus on three central strategies:
- Buyout & Growth: Investments in established, profitable companies with growth potential
- Special situations: Investments in companies with operational challenges or complex capital structures
- Venture Capital: Early-stage investments in innovative and disruptive business models
Operative value creation
Our target funds create added value through targeted corporate development measures. The most important levers are:
- Internationalisation: opening up new markets
- Promoting growth: optimising business processes and scaling potential
- Strategic realignment: improving transparency and adapting to market changes
A moderate use of debt capital ensures a balanced relationship between risk and return.
Various forms of participation
We invest flexibly in various investment structures in order to make the best possible use of attractive opportunities:
- Primary funds: Direct investments in target funds when they are launched
- Secondary market: Acquisition of existing shares in private equity funds
- Co-investments: Direct investment in selected companies together with target funds
This flexible strategy enables us to react dynamically to market opportunities and ensure broad diversification.
