Private Equity
WITH KNOW-HOW
STRENGTHENING THE SWISS ECONOMY
With private equity investments, you invest in local companies and thus in the Swiss economy.
At Ellstone, we are aware of this shared responsibility and the goals we strive to achieve, and we do our part to help realize them through our expertise and through the high ethical standards we live by.
MAIN FEATURES OF PRIVATE EQUITY
Private equity means off-market equity capital - i.e. a form of equity capital that is not tradable on regulated stock exchanges.
But it is not only private equity companies that provide capital for start-ups. Individual investors are also increasingly taking advantage of the opportunities to generate high returns through private equity investments. These investors receive the same attention from us and benefit from the same advisory expertise and many years of experience.
Ellstone is the link between you and the company seeking capital. Ellstone brings both sides together and ensures an optimal and successful cooperation.
FACTORS FOR A PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTMENT
Depending on the strategy, different factors are relevant for the respective investment decision. In the case of a turnaround, particular consideration is given to the effort and time required to bring the company back on track for growth. In the case of a management buyout, the private equity company must in particular come to an agreement with the existing management and believe in its leadership qualities.
In the case of private equity, the focus is on the interest in acquiring a stake in a company at a comparatively low price and to be involved in it for a limited period of time. The exit is a key decision criterion at the time of investment.
DIRECT INVESTMENTS
IN COMPANIES
PLANNING & STRATEGY LEADING TO SUCCESS
With private equity, an investor has the opportunity to participate directly in the strategy implementation and process optimization of the unlisted company and to support it.
This type of investment is called direct investment in a company. This can contribute to a significant increase in the value of the company.
PROCESS OF A DIRECT INVESTMENT
A key component of our approach culture is the self-image of generating long-term and sustainable added value for investors and target companies. We therefore only propose direct investments in companies in which we ourselves would also invest - and have already invested: Time, money, commitment, expertise, brain and manpower. If a target company meets the critical success factors that we consider fundamental to include it in our portfolio, we reserve the right to support it by actively contributing our investment expertise and know-how to the optimal structuring of the capital transactions.
This can lead to faster expansion, operational progress, a leading market position and thus establishment in the top segment.
