Family Offices

Background: We are an investment firm based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. We focus on managing investment portfolios. Our expertise is in investment management, and we aim to make strategic decisions that maximise returns for our clients.

Background: We have been managing the assets of a Munich family since 1990. Our mission is to invest these assets in companies that combine a unique business model with strong competitive advantages into a business "franchise". We hold such investments permanently, preferably for the next generation of the family. Currently, we have made investments in 26 companies, their turnover ranges from 2 - 28 million euros per year. Our group employs more than a thousand people, including about fifty trainees, and is growing at an excellent double-digit rate. Of the 26 companies, twelve are number one or two in their industry in terms of profitability. Our focus industries are: software - water & fluid management - health - industry & services. We prefer to invest in subscription businesses, i. e. businesses with recurring revenues. Such revenues can come from maintenance/spare parts/consumables for physical products, maintenance contracts/SaaS revenues for software, and generally high criticality/high switching risk of the service provided - in any case, they create high customer loyalty. This gives subscription businesses very high visibility for revenues and earnings in the long time frames in which we think. In addition, subscription businesses are usually very profitable.
