In contrast to most other financial investors who only manage funds for a limited period, NORD Holding acts as a so-called "Evergreen Fund" without a time limit and invests from its own balance sheet. The company is currently invested in more than 15 companies in Germany and other German-speaking countries. The Fund Investments division targets the small-cap segment of the European private equity market and focuses on primaries, secondaries and co-investments. NORD Holding concentrates strongly on buyout managers newly established on the market, operational investment strategies and regularly acts as an anchor investor.”
