Value Proposition

Track Record

Proven results in Switzerland and abroad

The results speak for themselves. Today, we have completed a number of significant, landmark transactions. In Europe, we have become the leading financial investor in Nordic wind power according to installed capacity. Driving the shift from feed-in tariffs to private market offtake agreements early on, we secured a number of innovative power purchase agreements for our assets that provide stable cash flows and rank amongst the largest in European wind.

In Switzerland, we were the first financial investor to gain access to the national grid transmission system, and our public-to-private transaction with a Swiss electricity producer was the largest Swiss utilities M&A transaction of the past decade.

The Swiss investment group we manage is available to Swiss pension funds and pension foundations (“Pensionskassen und Vorsorgestiftungen”). Every 10th Swiss pension fund, from all regions of the country, participates. The investment group invests solely in Switzerland, primarily in central, existing energy infrastructure facilities and, to a lesser extent, in new energy infrastructure projects using proven technologies.

The focus is on long-term equity investments, and our strategy of holding minority stakes in assets enables our investors to achieve stable returns backed by real assets. The investment group has surpassed expectations since its inception, already achieving expected returns during the build-up phase.
