Fueling Escape Velocity Growth
Family office focused on private equity and venture capital investments in automotive, mobility, electrification, mfg & logistics, retail & aftermarket, and related financial services. Thematically, we view reshoring, energy transition, and digitization as dominant, disruptive trends with sizable consequences for economic profit. These developments manifest in select investment opportunities in both controlled interest transactions in private equity and consolidation transactions in growth equity. We foresee “higher for longer” interest rates globally with positive real rates in the US as most likely monetary outlook.
