Aetos Partners · For investors
For holding companies, funds and family offices
Inside the companies you invest in
A complementary offering for SME investors: Aetos Partners works inside portfolio companies, supports their growth and brings to buy-and-build projects the experience gained within the Net 4 Capital group.
What we offer
Build, manage, transform
SME investors often have the capital and the vision, but not the people to place inside every company. We fill that gap with services that follow the life of the investment.
Build
Before and during a buy-and-build
- Buy-and-build and roll-ups · structuring and running consolidation strategies among SMEs
- Scouting and advisory · origination and in-house support to portfolio companies
Manage
During the holding period
- Investment management · target-based mandates, with flexibility and specialist expertise
- Management control · continuous monitoring of results against financial and operational targets, with action on efficiency and costs
- Board representation · seats on portfolio company boards, to act early and keep decisions aligned with long-term goals
Transform
When the company has to change
- Fractional management · experienced interim managers to fill executive and operational roles the portfolio company does not yet have
- Change management · managing change in acquired companies
Why us
We know buy-and-build from the inside
