Investment thesis

FIDURA pursues a deliberately conservative capital-preservation-oriented private equity strategy designed to make the asset class accessible to ordinary retail investors. It makes direct minority growth-equity investments covering mid-venture, late-venture, expansion and mature financings in growth-oriented innovation-driven small and medium-sized companies, primarily in German-speaking countries. Target companies typically hold unique patented technology with large addressable markets. Ticket sizes run roughly €0.3 to €3 million with holding periods of three to nine years. The limited partner base is distinctive: more than 4,000 German private retail investors rather than institutions. Value creation comes from long-term growth-equity support of innovative Mittelstand companies, with an explicit ethics-and-security overlay across the fund range.
