They have engaged their own funds in the first fund and since then they stick to the rules to always have shares in the capital of newly launched funds together with external investors.
Traditional industry, modern investments
Today, there are several companies gathered in six industrial groups operating in the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Poland. The company manages assets of EUR 750 million and focuses on companies from the industrial sector.

We are looking for companies with achievements and history, which our commitment can give a developmental impulse or ensure a stable future as part of succession – says Marek Chłopk, managing director of Jet Investment Poland.
