Vestin realised that many of Hungarian enterprises, being part of international supply chain and possessing of high-level manufacturing technology, face major challenges either due to the lack of clear strategy or the determination to execute that strategy. Vestin has a strong belief that improvement of management capability, definition and execution of an appropriate strategy can set many of these companies on a long-term growth path, position them on the European playground and unlock hidden growth potential and shareholder value.

Vestin focuses on investment opportunities in the – mainly industrial – production sector, with international focus, high technology level, unexploited growth- or development opportunities and with the need or potential of a turnaround strategy.

With the deep understanding of both local markets and the international supply chain, Vestin positions itself as a long term strategic financial investor, being able to acquire and manage companies, analyse current operation, develop and implement a successful turnaround strategy and secure the basis of a long term growth and scale up. In this capacity, Vestin is ready to take operative management responsibility in the target companies during the transition period.

Vestin has neither determined exit strategy, nor fixed investment horizon for such holdings; long term strategic position means that Vestin is committed to remain in position as long as it can increase shareholder value.

Vestin believes that its initial investments in a new industry could serve as a platform for further growth in the given industry. Therefore, Vestin is continuously looking for new investment opportunities, which could either vertically or horizontally fit its existing operation.

By structuring such acquisition, Vestin, as managing partner usually teams up with other private equity holders and uses project financing techniques in order to enhance equity return.

In order to create a clear and transparent structure for its private equity investments, Vestin set up Vestin Private Equity VCM Ltd. as exclusive affiliate, in order to set up and manage dedicated venture capital funds for specific investment purposes.
