Frequently asked questions

What is Prime Capital's core investment model?

Prime Capital operates as a manager of managers, constructing and managing diversified alternative-investment programs for institutional clients. It selects underlying fund managers, blends commitments into commingled vehicles or customized mandates, and handles ongoing monitoring and reporting. The firm covers private equity, infrastructure, private credit, and absolute-return strategies. Direct co-investments are pursued on a selective basis alongside primary fund commitments.

How is Prime Capital different from a traditional fund-of-funds?

While its core product set resembles a fund-of-funds model, Prime Capital frequently operates as a contracted investment office — designing bespoke alternatives programs and managing them on an ongoing basis. This includes manager selection, portfolio construction, risk management, and regulatory reporting. The firm also structures regulated vehicles in Luxembourg and can incorporate co-investment overlays within client programs.

Does Prime Capital make direct investments or only fund commitments?

Prime Capital primarily commits to external private-equity, infrastructure, private-credit, and hedge funds. It does selectively execute co-investments alongside the underlying managers it backs. The firm's stated approach to co-investment is integrated into its fund-of-funds programs rather than operated as a standalone direct-investment practice.

What is Prime Capital's geographic focus?

The firm invests across Europe, North America, and select other OECD markets. Its infrastructure strategies target developed-market assets, while private-equity commitments concentrate on European and North American small to mid-market buyout managers. The client base is centered in Germany and the broader DACH region, with fund structures domiciled in Luxembourg.
