  • Assets under Management in excess of EUR 9 billion
  • ARTS Asset Management GmbH shareholding successfully increased from 45 to 55%
  • Fundraising for AMC V ends with record capital commitments
 
Vienna, 25 June 2024 – The first half of 2024 was characterised by dynamic growth in assets under management, an expansion of the product range and a strong performance of the most important products of the CQ Investment Group.
 
As of 17 May 2024, the FMA (Austrian Financial Market Authority) approved the increase in the stake in ARTS Asset Management GmbH from 45 to 55 per cent. ARTS Asset Management was founded in 2003 and specialises in the management of quantitative total return strategies. With its funds, ARTS is one of the pioneers in trend following asset management. The funds represent an active asset management approach and are not linked to any benchmark (market index). 
Over the past 21 years, the ARTS funds have received over 370 international awards and the company has been named Austria's best fund of funds manager by the renowned “GELD magazine” for the eleventh time. ARTS currently manages around EUR 1.8 billion in 13 flexibly managed funds.
 
ACP, the private debt specialist in which CQ Investment AG is both a shareholder and an investor, has completed the fundraising for AMC V with a record result in capital commitments. AMC V SCA SICAV-RAIF, based in Luxembourg, was closed with total commitments of EUR 336 million. This makes it the largest fund in ACP's 24-year history and around 30% larger than its predecessor. The fund was strongly supported by existing ACP investors. Commitments came from pension funds, insurance companies, IFIs, banks, family offices and fund of funds from across Europe, the UK, the US and Asia. AMC V will continue the strategy of previous ACP funds, providing structured growth capital to medium-sized companies to support expansion, acquisitions, succession planning and buyouts. The company will invest €10-35 million per transaction in the form of a combination of long-term secured debt and minority equity in established and fast-growing companies throughout Central Europe.
 
With Assets under Management exceeding EUR 9 billion, CQ Investment Group has achieved a new record. "New mandates and products, organic growth and very good investment performance have led to a new high in assets under management. We are pleased to have been able to achieve very good results for our investors and will do everything we can to continue this positive momentum in the second half of the year," says CEO and company founder Alexander Schütz, commenting on the results for the first half of 2024.
