Sustained value creation as the primary objective. We focus on long-term, responsible and value-creating investments in promising mid-market growth companies that are seeking sustained growth, operational excellence and market leadership. In our targeted sectors - Healthcare, Tech-Enabled Services and Smart Industries, we identify and analyse sub-sectors with the aim of identifying companies that either have attractive organic growth potential or the ability to grow through acquiring and integrating similar companies (“buy and build”). In each case we are focused on profitable companies, which are headed by a strong management team with a clear track record. Success is based on working closely with the management team, whose members underline their entrepreneurial commitment investing their own capital too. This attractive management stake presupposes a carefully developed growth strategy, an agreed management culture and compelling answers to key questions. As a partner with industrial vision, we offer our sector expertise, supported by a network of qualified experts whose management skills and specialist expertise stem from market-leading companies with international operations. What they all have in common is a passion for sharing their knowledge and experience.
