>>> CGS FUND

Fourth fund successfully subscribed

Christoph Haller, Managing Partner

The subscription period of CGS’s fourth industrial investment fund (CGS IV) closed mid-2018 with capital commitments totaling CHF 240 million, the maximum amount allowed for contractually. This volume clearly achieves the subscription goals.

Switzerland-based CGS Management AG acts as the exclusive advisor for all CGS industrial investment funds. Thanks to its fourth fund, the company now has additional capital to pursue its tried and true investment strategy. One-fourth of the capital committed to CGS IV has already been invested in three platform companies that form the core of internationally leading industrial groups in their areas.

Tried and true strategy
CGS has been pursuing the same strategy consistently since the closing of its first fund in 1999: industrial Buy & Build with a special focus on inter-company integration and process optimization. The investments target small and medium-sized platform companies operating in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in selected core areas in which CGS’s partners have management experience.

Capital for attractive projects
Ashley Le Feuvre, board member of the CGS IV managing general partner, is pleased to have witnessed such a successful subscription: “We are envisioning a great deal of attractive projects in line with our successful investment strategy. This new fund now brings us the capital needed to drive them forward together with the CGS team.”
