Growth before financial leverage

Transactions are financially structured taking into account the nature and characteristics of the target company and its market environment, as well as the business plan. We believe value creation should be essentially driven by a company’s development, growth and/or reorganisation. We want management teams to have sufficient leeway to take operational risks and focus on adding value to the business.

Companies need vision and the ability to attain a clearly recognizable strategic value, regardless of the investment horizon of their shareholders. Argos Soditic typically introduces efficient and sophisticated capital structures for portfolio companies. Efficient financial structuring enables management teams to focus on strategy and adding value rather than debt repayment.

Operational activities, add-on acquisitions and working capital requirements must be in line with economic and industrial needs specific to each company. Such requirements are dependent on industry sector, business cycles and opportunities. Our approach favours growth before leverage and enables us to look beyond short-term economic circumstances and limit the impact of any downturn in activity.
