Mutares

Mutares SE & Co. KGaA is a publicly listed private equity holding company headquartered in Germany. It acquires medium-sized companies in special situations, with a stated focus on carve-outs and turnarounds, and applies an operating model built around acquisition, realignment, optimisation and exit. The firm positions itself as an active owner rather than a passive financial investor, using an internal operational team to improve portfolio company performance and prepare assets for divestment. The company generates value through buying under-managed or non-core assets, improving operations, pursuing buy-and-build where relevant, and realising returns through disposals. Its direct customers and counterparties are sellers of carve-out assets, portfolio companies, buyers of divested assets, and public market investors seeking exposure to special-situations investing. Mutares also maintains a dividend policy supported by holding-level profitability and exit proceeds.
