• Attegia’s stated philosophy is to invest in “funds, companies and assets that provide industry-leading returns,” with an emphasis on deep sector understanding, fast decision-making and openness to unconventional structures.
• Current co-investment focus at Attegia: established funds, club deals, GP-leds, emerging managers and independent sponsors, with €5m-€10m tickets.
• Attegia’s co-investment target profile is industry-agnostic, but requires growing, cash-generating businesses, strong and incentivized management teams, and meaningful GP commitment.
• For private equity fund investments, Attegia targets long-standing established funds or newly formed funds by experienced investors, with €5m-€20m ticket sizes, focused on small and lower mid-market buyout, deep value / special situations, buy-and-build and growth.
• At DPE, Suderow articulated a growth and consolidation thesis around fragmented markets. In the Massenberg deal, he said the company fit DPE’s strategy of creating “a growth platform within an attractive industry” through acquisitions, succession solutions, investment options or partnerships.
• In a DPE interview on succession, Suderow said DPE sought entrepreneurs with whom it could shape succession “partnerschaftlich” and described DPE’s focus as promoting and accelerating sustainably profitable growth.
