Our Approach

We look for opportunities combining complexity and strong fundamentals, enabling us to invest in quality assets and help them reach their full potential

We invest in profitable small and mid-sized companies with strong differentiation (significant market share, strong brand or value proposition, exceptional know-how), positioned in promising markets supported by major long-term trends, but currently facing challenges that have impaired their growth and competitiveness.

We demonstrate creativity throughout the transaction process, capitalize on our proven methodologies, and engage deeply on the operational level to achieve competitive performance and maximize value creation.

We have a partnership approach, sharing a common strategy with the management team that we strive to support every day.
