Brockhaus establishes technology-focused industrial holding company

BCM AG, with its long-term orien­ta­tion, offers the oppor­tu­nity to fully exploit the entire value poten­tial of invest­ments. In the case of private equity funds with a limi­ted term, on the other hand, it is some­ti­mes neces­sary to sell a port­fo­lio company before the full poten­tial can be reali­zed. Our stra­tegy is aimed at incre­asing the value of our invest­ments over the long term. This is even more possi­ble with our new company. After the targe­ted listing, inves­tors will gain addi­tio­nal fungi­bi­lity in an inher­ently illi­quid asset class.

Our new struc­ture is advan­ta­ge­ous for both inves­tors and port­fo­lio compa­nies. We have found a good role model for our stra­tegy in the USA in “Roper Tech­no­lo­gies”. The successful estab­lish­ment of this tech­no­logy group descri­bes very well what we are also curr­ently working on.

Over three private equity fund gene­ra­ti­ons, we have inves­ted in 23 compa­nies. Since we focus on buyouts and growth finan­cing, our average GROSS money multi­ple in this regard is 2.1x and the IRR is 43%.

We have done very well with our long-term invest­ment stra­tegy and have been able to deve­lop a large number of compa­nies very successfully. That is why we are conti­nuing to invest — now with a long-term approach — exactly as we have done in the past. Inno­va­tion and tech­no­logy leaders offer very speci­fic and signi­fi­cant advan­ta­ges: strong diffe­ren­tia­tion from exis­ting and new compe­ti­tors as well as market leader­ship in the niche, above-average growth and high profi­ta­bi­lity combi­ned with low capi­tal inten­sity. We have been specia­li­zing in this type of busi­ness for 18 years now.
