Investment Banking
The foundations of investment banking can be traced back to the flourishing trade routes of medieval Europe, where merchants sought ways to finance their ventures. In these early days, the practice was centered around basic moneylending and lending against goods in transit. As trade expanded, so did the need for more extensive financial services, which laid the groundwork for the birth of modern banking.
The real surge in investment banking, however, emerged during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in London and Amsterdam. The establishment of stock exchanges, such as the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in 1602, created new opportunities for individuals to invest in companies and government debt. These exchanges not only facilitated the buying and selling of securities but also fostered the growth of investment banks that specialized in issuing and underwriting securities.
The history of investment banking is one of resilience and adaptability. From its origins as a local lending practice to its current role as a global financial powerhouse, investment banking has continuously evolved to meet the changing demands of the financial world. However, this journey has not been without its challenges, as evidenced by the financial crises that have periodically shaken the industry. Understanding the past of investment banking can offer valuable insights into its present state and potential future directions.

Institutional investors like Strattners bring substantial financial resources to the table. When we invest, we contribute capital that the company can use for various purposes, such as expanding operations, research and development, or debt repayment. 

Our focus is on companies with enterprise values of €50 to €750 million and our target investment size is €25 to €125 million per transaction.

Institutional investors often have a long-term investment horizon. Their commitment to the company signals confidence in its future performance, which can help stabilize the company's stock price and reduce short-term volatility.

We recognize that every company we aim to support has its own distinct aspirations and needs. Therefore, whenever possible and within our risk and return evaluation framework, we take a flexible and tailored approach to structuring each investment to ensure these requirements are fulfilled.

Our approach is long-term and centered on partnership, reflecting our legacy as a family business. We believe this mindset offers us a perspective that distinctly sets us apart from our competitors.
