Investments in demand: medium-sized companies on the stock market

Private equity invest­ments have long since estab­lished them­sel­ves in the German SME sector. But despite the rising stock markets world­wide and although the DAX was able to break through the magic 10,000 mark this spring, at least in the short term, the German capi­tal market is still waiting for a breakth­rough as a finan­cing plat­form for SMEs. The expec­ted exits of PE inves­tors via the stock market are still rare. Well-prepared compa­nies no longer have to fear the forma­li­ties of the stock exch­ange. Inves­tors are only waiting for convin­cing success stories from German “hidden champions”.
