Perpetual

Perpetual

Perpetual was founded in 2016 by the Wilsdorf family in Munich. The family traces its wealth to Hans Wilsdorf, who established Rolex after being orphaned with his siblings. The office operates as an independent vehicle to preserve and compound that capital across generations. Perpetual allocates across venture capital, growth equity, mid-cap and large-cap buyouts, corporate lending, asset-backed lending, specialty finance, distressed situations, circular economy strategies, digital transformation, energy transition, value-add real estate, bonds, equities, liquid alternatives, and absolute return strategies. It commits to funds, participates in direct co-investments and SPVs, and targets early-stage opportunities. Confirmed positions include Prewave, Vertice, Weaviate, Sparetech, HiBob, Copado, and sennder. The geographic footprint centers on Europe and North America. Student housing, hotel assets, rescue helicopters, cold storage facilities, music royalties, and aircraft leasing debt form additional holdings. The firm lists more than twenty professionals in Munich. Adjacent structures include the Wilsdorf Family Foundations organized in Switzerland and Liechtenstein since 1945. No operational events from the last twenty-four months appear in public records. Perpetual functions as the dedicated investment office for one family while also serving an international network of select entrepreneurs and institutions. Interests of investors, shareholders, and employees remain aligned through family ownership and an evergreen fund structure that supplies permanent capital to private markets.
