Buy and build

Business model

Momentum invests in various companies. Its largest participations are in Perpetual Next, Seaborough and Momentum Leisure. Throughout its existence, Momentum has played a crucial role as an investor in these companies.

Impact

The drive to positively change markets is ingrained in Momentum's DNA. We believe social and ecological criteria are equally as important as financial returns. We look critically at the investments we make and consciously choose projects that meet our strict sustainability and social responsibility standards.

Financing model: Borrow – Build – Convert

Momentum and its holdings finance their activities through issuing convertible bonds or making shares available. Like Momentum, our co-investors are lenders and co-owners. Bondholders are entitled, but not obliged, to convert bonds into shares. Our capital accumulation is based on this model of borrowing, building value and optionally converting to ownership.

Investment criteria

Momentum’s priority is long-term value creation. Our investments meet the following criteria:

- Initial investment of €5 million to €100 million, for acquiring equity or setting up a company.
- Often a controlling or majority interest
- Focused on realising sustainable, social value (ESG); focused on solving major problems to improve markets
- Investment horizon of at least 6 years, often longer
- Strong, dedicated management team
