What we offer

Our financial strength allows us to provide a company with the scope it needs to build the business: We can finance the purchase just as soundly as we can any required capital investment. Since we have access to substantial financial resources, there is no pressure to divest: we can wait for the optimal moment to exit an investment.

Our many years of experience in buyouts have put us in a position to efficiently structure the transaction process. This applies to creatively structuring the financing just as it does to finding flexible solutions for management's financial stake. Attractive incentive systems drive upside potential.

We are a committed and expert partner to management when it comes to optimising finance structures and improving cost patterns. Additionally, we can quickly respond to funding requirements for organic and external growth. We do not intervene in the operative side of business – this remains solely in the hands of management.

Our portfolio companies can take advantage of a strong network of international contacts. This network of working relationships, built over 40 years by our investment professionals, extends to many sectors of business and industry. In addition to consultants and banking experts, our unique network includes CEOs of former and of current
portfolio companies.
