Private equity

Holding shares in many companies

Our private equity funds are set up as funds of funds and offer investors a wide array of investment options. When selecting the target funds, we pay particular attention to the management skills and the network of companies behind them, as these are important success factors.

KGAL has been active in the private equity segment since 2004. We actively look after our funds at all stages and benefit from broad diversification. The nine umbrella funds it has launched to date invest in over 20 target funds in some cases. The result is that KGAL’s private equity funds offer a wide range and good yield prospects at the same time. All the funds of funds have completed their manager selection and funding commitments successfully. We systematically report on our equity investments in order to achieve a high degree of transparency.

CAREFULLY SELECTED ASSETS

Especially in phases of market instability, factors such as experience, management competence, network competence and implementation speed gain in importance for target fund managers. This enables investors to take advantage of promising investment opportunities and avoid risks. As in other areas, we make use of external specialists to complement our own expertise in the field of private equity. In this way, we are able to take a broad spectrum of options and carefully pick out the investment opportunities that offer good potential for development.
