Collective Team Experience
Three pillars of
SBS Asset Management
A focused platform giving investors direct access to off-market German assets — spanning infrastructure investments aligned with secular growth trends to private SMEs — as well as a selectively constructed public markets portfolio.
Real Assets
Infrastructure assets in Germany positioned at the centre of secular growth trends — energy transition, renewables, and hydrogen — targeting long-duration, non-cyclical returns. Co-investors are brought in to participate alongside SBS in each opportunity.
- 10–20% ownership stake per asset
- Residual stake syndicated to co-investors globally
- Focus on greenfield and brownfield infrastructure
- Tailored exposure for institutional and private investors
Direct Investments
Direct investments in German Mittelstand companies, sourced exclusively through proprietary, off-market deal flow. Co-investors are brought in to scale positions and share upside.
- 25% minority positions up to 100% buyouts
- Residual stake syndicated to co-investors globally
- Proprietary origination — no auction processes
- Bespoke investment sizing for co-investment partners
Public Markets
A research-driven long/short equity strategy in German Small and Mid Cap equities, completing the platform's full-spectrum coverage across private and public German markets.
- Research-driven, high-conviction approach
- Asymmetric opportunity identification
- Strategic fixed income for risk construction
- Execute on opportunities on the cusp between private and public markets (e.g. pre-IPO) and ride long-term upside
"Access is the differentiator. Our investors reach German assets — real infrastructure, private companies, off-market by nature — that are simply unavailable through any other channel."
