They target expansion-stage companies and businesses undergoing succession events likely to lead to MBOs or MBIs. They also provide mezzanine capital. The firm's investment philosophy emphasizes consensus building and the possibility of very-long-term investing. NORD Holding invests primarily in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They invest either as a silent partner or directly, and acquire significant minority interests or majority stakes. Investment selection focuses on valuation, profitability, prospective earnings and growth potential. As an active shareholder, the firm aims to influence major strategic decisions while generally keeping their involvement with day-to-day company operation limited. They seek to invest in companies already structured according to their own requirements. They promote synergies between portfolio companies and provide consulting support a needed for financial and operational restructuring, acquisitions, expansion and spin-offs. Exit strategies include IPOs, joint transfers to industrial or institutional partners, or purchase options in favor of the main shareholder. NORD Holding may stay invested in a company for an indefinite period of time, which they consider to be a competitive advantage.
