Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum investment amount?
The minimum investment for companies and transactions is EUR 250,000 fully drawn directly at closing.
What is the selection process for companies and transactions?
We screen the investment opportunities on our platform using in-depth due diligence and outside-in analysis, focusing on growth-oriented and profitable companies in attractive sectors with experienced management teams. Transactions are sourced through our senior industry network partners, other fund managers, financial advisors, and bilateral deals. Our rigorous selection process results in investments in only ~1-3% of our total deal flow.
What is the expected return?
Each investment has its own target return. Generally, we aim for a gross IRR of >20% for private equity and >8% for infrastructure investments. This translates to a gross money multiple on invested costs of around 2.0x in private equity and around 2.2x in infrastructure. While we strive for strong performance, it is important to acknowledge that investments carry inherent risks, and returns may vary.
What is the investment horizon?
Each opportunity has its own horizon. Typically, private equity investments are exited after 3-6 years, while infrastructure investments take 5-8 years until exit.
What are the fees?
OVE charges between 1% and 2% on NAV per annum, plus a success fee once a certain return threshold is achieved. Fees are disclosed explicitly with each investment opportunity on an individual basis.
How much time do I have to make an investment decision?
The timeframe varies by transaction, generally requiring final investment decisions within 1 to 3 months.
What information will investors receive post-investment?
Investors receive quarterly performance updates on their investments, including current return analysis.
Are investments in private equity and infrastructure assets risky?
While these investments present opportunities, they also entail significant risks and are inherently speculative. Investors are encouraged to consider only allocating funds they are comfortable with potentially losing. The value of investments can vary, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future outcomes. Furthermore, these investments are typically illiquid and may require holding periods that exceed 10 years. It is advisable for such investments to be part of a well-diversified portfolio.
