M&A transactions

Private equity investments are not readily available to investors. An increasing number of investors are competing for the same, most promising projects. This is in addition to the semi to general illiquidity of this asset class. However, illiquidity should not deter investors because it also opens up opportunities that we know how to exploit in a targeted way. Helvetic Trust brokers select private equity investment opportunities. The extensive offering also includes integral advice from investment review right through to exit strategy.

Our clients get exclusive access to private market investments through our network. We also advise on and assist with company mergers and acquisitions and the sale of larger investments in listed or unlisted companies from the DACH region. Our focus is on companies operating in the technology, precision and specialist fields. We also keep an eye on traditional companies in niche markets and succession solutions (including real estate).
