Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Robur Capital?
The investment team is led by Franky Houtteman, Finance & Investment Director, alongside Wim Deblauwe and Peter Caset from the Board of Directors. Operating Partner Charlotte Favril and Investment Manager Laurens Vanden Bulcke support sourcing, due diligence, and portfolio oversight.
What types of transactions does Robur Capital pursue?
Robur Capital provides growth capital and financing for management buy-outs, acquisitions, and ownership transfers. It targets mature and profitable small and medium-sized enterprises, taking either minority or majority positions based on the needs of the selling shareholders and incumbent management.
Does Robur Capital operate as a fund or a permanent capital vehicle?
Robur Capital does not advertise a traditional blind-pool fund structure. The firm deploys capital from its board principals in a flexible, likely permanent-capital posture, which allows it to hold investments without the fixed exit timelines typical of closed-end funds.
How does Robur Capital support its portfolio companies operationally?
The firm provides hands-on operational support through embedded operating partners like Charlotte Favril. The team works with management to define a sustainable value creation plan and monitors execution through regular follow-ups, rather than relying solely on board representation.
Where does Robur Capital invest geographically?
Robur Capital invests in Belgium, with a primary focus on mature, profitable SMEs located in Flanders. The firm's single office is in Ledegem, West Flanders, and its investment activity has been concentrated in this region since its founding.
