Our Model

Capital raising that connects both sides.

As an independent, owner-managed placement agent we bring two worlds together: institutional investors seeking access to private markets, and asset managers raising capital for their strategies. We assess, select and place – and stay at the side of both parties well beyond the transaction.

One side

Institutional investors

seeking carefully selected access to private markets that matches their risk-return profile.

Private Debt

Credit strategies beyond traditional bank lending – a building block for predictable income and portfolio diversification.

Risk Classes

From stable core to
value-add.

Every investor has a different risk-return profile. The strategies we place therefore cover the full private markets spectrum – which class fits your allocation is something we determine together in a personal conversation.

Established assets and strategies with predictable, recurring cash flows and lower risk.

Core+
Balanced

A solid foundation with additional return potential through moderate active components.

Value-Add
Active value creation

Active management and targeted value creation for higher return opportunities at higher risk.

Reach

Focused on Germany and Austria, connected across Northern Europe.

Germany and Austria are our home market – this is where we know investors, market standards and decision-making processes first-hand. Long-standing partnerships in Switzerland and the Nordics extend this reach in a targeted way. For asset managers this means one point of contact, one coordinated process – and a market that goes far beyond the home region.

Who We Serve

For institutional investors – and for asset managers.

Institutional investors

Carefully selected access instead of searching alone

You gain carefully selected access to alternative investments that would otherwise often require a large network of your own – with strategies that match your investment objectives and a partner who knows the German and Austrian perspective first-hand.

Asset managers (GPs)

Qualified capital, greater reach

Through us you gain qualified access to institutional capital – with a clear focus on Germany and Austria, significantly extended through established partnerships in Switzerland and the Nordics. A market that reaches well beyond the German and Austrian core region, backed by a network built on substance rather than volume.
