INTRODUCING AKQUIVEST
About AkquiVest.
Based in Munich, AkquiVest is an investor and investment advisor specializing in acquisition financing. Since its inception, the firm has pursued a successful, solid, and conservative investment approach.
​
AkquiVest is an investment firm regulated by the BaFin (German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority) and the Deutsche Bundesbank. Among other activities, the firm invests through a Luxembourg-based evergreen fund on behalf of a leading German insurance group. The fund provides senior secured acquisition financing between €10 million and €50 million per transaction for mid-market companies. Since 2019, the team has successfully invested approximately €650 million across more than 40 transactions, maintaining a robust network of investors, private equity managers, and companies.​
OUR STRATEGY
Outstanding access to investment opportunities.
The AkquiVest team draws upon a broad, proprietary, personal network within the private equity market and among mid-market companies. We monitor and analyze virtually every transaction relevant to our investment criteria, thus generating a consistently high-quality deal flow for our investors.
​
Our transactions are sourced through a long-established and deeply rooted network. Our investors and partners benefit from unparalleled access to all relevant decision-makers across the industry.
Investment Approach.
Our credit portfolio focuses on individually structured primary transactions within the DACH region. The fund pursues a long-term, conservative investment strategy with a risk profile comparable to traditional acquisition financing from German banks (Credit ratings of BB or higher).
​
Our credit documentation is based on established banking standards but is designed to be leaner and more efficient. The fund structures transactions either as a sole lender or as part of a consortium, providing both amortizing loans (up to 6 years) and bullet tranches (7–8 years). Working capital facilities typically remain with the company's principal bank. All loans are senior secured and include market-standard financial covenants.
AkquiVest is known for fast decision-making, flexible recapitalization agreements, and streamlined documentation. We are able to offer both floating-rate (EURIBOR + margin) and fixed-rate loans.
