Investment thesis

Broadly diversified fund-of-funds programmes giving DACH institutions access to global managers: small and mid-sized buyouts with about 30% opportunistic secondaries in private equity (no pure VC funds, no emerging markets), core/core+ brownfield infrastructure in OECD countries, and mid-market private-debt secondaries; programmes are structured for German and Austrian tax and regulatory requirements.
