Castik Capital

The firm operates a classic private equity fund management model. It sponsors and manages Luxembourg-based closed-ended funds (the EPIC series), raises commitments from institutional investors, then deploys that capital into majority buyouts of mid-market B2B services and software companies across Europe. Value is created by implementing operational improvements, pursuing add-on M&A and executing buy-and-build consolidation strategies to scale each platform company. Returns are realised through exits such as strategic sales or secondary buyouts, with capital and profits then distributed back to fund investors. The management company captures economics via management and advisory fees on committed or invested capital and performance-related carried interest when fund returns exceed agreed hurdles.

Castik Capital is a Luxembourg-based private equity investment firm established in 2014, advised by a Munich-based management company. It raises closed-ended funds under the EPIC label and invests primarily in European B2B services and software companies, typically acquiring majority stakes and pursuing buy-and-build strategies to scale targets across multiple countries and sectors.

The firm manages several Luxembourg-domiciled funds (including EPIC I, EPIC I‑B, EPIC II and EPIC III) with total assets under management of around €5 billion. It generates returns by improving portfolio companies operationally and via add-on acquisitions, then exiting through trade sales or similar transactions. Its direct customers are institutional limited partners that commit capital to these funds; portfolio companies are investment assets, not fee-paying clients.
