Entrepreneurial equity for special opportunities

felix-tschopp_portrait-02

Every business reaches moments when capital alone is not enough. A good balance sheet does not decide where a company should go next. Growth, succession, a change in ownership or the next stage of development call for judgement as much as for funding.

Capturing these opportunities takes the professional rigour of institutional investing combined with entrepreneurial judgement and long-term commitment. Tschopp Group brings these qualities together as an owner-managed investment and advisory company.

The future belongs to businesses that remain relevant while the world around them changes

Our business

About

Entrepreneurial by origin, independent by choice, focused on long-term value creation.

An entrepreneurial investment and advisory firm

Businesses rarely follow a single formula. Markets, strategy, capital, people, ownership and organisation interact, and similar situations can call for different answers.

Tschopp Group is independent, owner-managed and based in Zug, Switzerland. More than three decades of experience in entrepreneurship, investment, corporate development, management and governance shape how we judge each opportunity.

Independent by design

One decision-maker, a lasting horizon, and the flexibility to match what each opportunity requires.

Approach

We invest, develop and contribute where we believe long-term value can be created.

Capital and judgement, in one hand

A situation may call for capital, strategic direction, stronger management, a different ownership structure or experienced advice. What is needed is determined by the business, not by a fixed offering.

Tschopp Group combines investment and advisory work within one entrepreneurial model. We invest, develop and operate businesses where ownership is the right path, and we advise where our experience and judgement can achieve more.

Active Ownership Investments®

This is the combination we bring to every situation.

Portfolio

Opportunity-driven, long-term oriented and shaped by structural change.

Investing across industries, not within one

Attractive opportunities are not confined to a predefined list of sectors. They emerge where technological, demographic or economic change meets a business with substance and unrealised potential.

Tschopp Group develops its portfolio opportunity by opportunity. We invest selectively where our involvement can create sustainable value, and we value discretion: the development of the portfolio matters more than its visibility.

Long-term by design

We hold what we build for as long as it continues to develop.

Team

Founder-led, and complemented by selected partners for each situation.

Expertise when it matters

Tschopp Group is led by its founder and owner, who brings in selected partners, specialists in legal, tax, finance and operations, matched to what each situation actually requires.

This combines direct decision-making with the expertise that complex situations demand.

One team

The right partners, at the right time, for any situation.

Principles

A few principles guide how we invest, decide and work with people.

What guides us

We are owner-managed. That is what makes us independent. We measure results in years, not quarters. Capital and judgement belong in the same hand.

We invest only in what we truly understand. Substance matters more than trend. People and capability are harder to replace than capital. At some point, analysis must become decision. Independence lets us choose our own partners.

Reputation first

Reputation is worth more than any single deal, and ownership means responsibility, not just return.
