We are a private debt manager
Kartesia is a Pan-European leader
We hold an incumbent advantage in the lower mid-market space. Through our extensive network, we conduct over 70% of our investments on a proprietary, off-market basis, allowing us to access leading SMEs across Europe. Our goal is to deliver consistent alpha to our investors across cycles, by building well-diversified and resilient portfolios. Kartesia originates opportunities from both primary and secondary transactions. We have also positioned ourselves as the most active player in the fast-growing sponsorless opportunity. Our platform offers four complementary strategies which are focused on generating unrivaled risk-adjusted returns and strong downside protection. We are proud to be recognised as the European lower mid-market of the decade.
