Strategies
Private EquityGrowth
We see every investment as a collaborative process. It requires effort from both the company’s management and Waterland, meaning we will actively work together to set up a strategic growth plan for the business. Together, we will pave the way towards success. At Waterland, we proactively search for opportunities that fit our vision. We take the same philosophy to our portfolio companies, helping them grow by proactively finding deals that fit their values and needs. Waterland can play a key role in helping companies achieve accelerated growth through consolidation by providing expansion capital, know-how and pro-active and hands-on strategic and operational support. Part of why our strategy is so successful is its flexibility. We understand like no other that industries and the world are changing every day. Because of that understanding, we ensure that we keep a close eye on the results, constantly measuring the outcome and impact of what we do. That way, we can adjust our strategy if necessary. As part of our buy-and-build strategy, we integrate add-on acquisitions into our portfolio companies. This way, we aim to expand the investment cluster to a larger size, thereby strengthening the portfolio company’s market position.
