Partnership expertise – Private Debt by Kartesia
Demand for Private Debt has soared in the last 10 years. As European banks deleverage due to tighter regulatory requirements under Basel III standards, the capital available from traditional credit investors for small and mid-market companies is diminishing. With most direct lending capital being raised by mid-market firms, we believe that the lower end of the market has been left underserved, resulting in a structural opportunity that our partner can seek to exploit.
Partnership expertise – Real Estate by Tristan

Impact Private Equity
Impact investing has a dual goal: generate a positive and measurable social and/or environmental impact, alongside a financial return. We invest in private equity funds whose managers share our values or in financial institutions which are aligned with our goals. Our task is important: finance projects which will positively contribute to a sustainable future. Therefore all stakeholders are aligned on common principles, and it is our duty to ensure both full transparency and outstanding integrity while selecting and allocating investments.
