“What are you looking for?” is probably the question our investment team hears most often. We receive investment opportunities every day. While each situation is unique, there are a few key criteria that consistently need to fit our investment approach. Our answer is simple: → We are looking for companies with potential for earnings improvement through operational restructuring. So, what does our filter look like in practice? 🔹 A company (or carved-out business unit) with negative profitability or profitability significantly below market level 🔹 Revenues usually between EUR 100 - 750 million 🔹 Part of a larger organization (local or international) that wants to focus on its core business, where the business for sale is no longer considered strategic or attractive by the current owner 🔹 Industry focus: cross-sector with a particular focus on Automotive & Mobility, Energy & Technology, Infrastructure & Defense, Goods & Services, and Chemicals & Materials 🔹 Transactions involving 100% ownership / share acquisition These criteria allow us to effectively identify and filter the most promising opportunities. At the same time, we remain open to dialogue and continuously evaluate opportunities that align with the inorganic growth strategies of our portfolio companies. #Investments #OperationalExcellence #CorporateCarveOut #Mutares #PrivateEquity
