The transaction comprises NIBC’s equity investment activities, being a portfolio of minority investments in Dutch companies operating in various industrial sectors, such as the semiconductor-, software- and digital services industry, under the management of the highly experienced NIBC Investment Partners team.
The portfolio will be acquired by funds capitalised by CWI and continued to be managed by the spun-off Investment Partners team. In addition to acquiring the existing portfolio, these funds will gain access to fresh capital to support current portfolio companies and make new investments, thereby ensuring continuity of the strategy that facilitates the growth ambitions of Dutch entrepreneurs by providing minority equity.
