Private Equity

The Private Equity Advisory Team has vast investment expertise, industry and sector knowledge, and established networks in the local business communities and societies. Whilst having a strong sector approach and by maintaining a “local-with-locals” presence, the team is uniquely positioned to analyze companies and the markets in which they operate, and to develop proprietary investment opportunities. The Teams’ operational approach, combined with an ability to see what is “beyond the obvious” in terms of growth potential, industry consolidation or structural change, are key advantages when scanning investment opportunities and monitoring portfolio company development.

As an enterprise from the agricultural, industrial or service sector, you need an experienced partner who develops appropriate solutions in dialogue with you and stands by your side – even in difficult times. We offer you the right long-term financing and packaged solutions tailored to your needs. Working in close partnership with you, we work out a carefully thought-out, viable financing solution for your undertaking that takes reasonable account of potential risks. We have the required industry know-how together with knowledge about local circumstances and framework conditions. With our international network, we can also arrange large-scale funding by involving other financiers, if required.

The Team, in collaboration with the advisors in the Iqcq Network, which are selected and retained along with the sectors, seeks to identify potential control or co-control equity investments in companies with strong or improving market positions, a significant potential for top-line and earnings growth and an engaged management team. In the middle-market segment, additional focus is on growth equity in the family- and entrepreneur owned businesses, corporate orphans and public-to-private transactions.
