Frequently asked questions
Why did PartnerFonds enter liquidation?
Shareholders voted to wind down the company in May 2020. The firm’s website states the decision was a shareholder resolution, though no further rationale — such as succession issues, portfolio performance, or strategic disagreement — has been publicly disclosed. Liquidation formally began on January 1, 2021.
Who is currently running PartnerFonds?
Dr. Henning von Kottwitz has served as CEO since October 1, 2023. His appointment came during the liquidation phase, indicating his mandate is focused on executing the asset sales and final distributions. Prior leadership during the firm’s active investment period is not listed on the current website.
What does PartnerFonds actually own today?
The firm has not published a current portfolio list. Its website references a historical portfolio of German Mittelstand companies held through majority stakes, but specific names are no longer disclosed. The liquidation process implies assets are being sold off systematically, so the remaining holdings shrink over time.
Can outside investors buy into PartnerFonds or its assets?
PartnerFonds AG is a publicly listed company in liquidation, so its shares may still trade on the platform it maintains for shareholders, but the firm is not seeking new equity investment. Asset sales during liquidation are private transactions; the firm has not advertised a public auction process.
Is PartnerFonds still making new investments?
No. All new investment activity ceased after the May 2020 shareholder resolution. The firm is solely in a harvest and distribution mode, with no plans to resume buyout, growth, or MBI/MBO transactions.
