On June 15th, the restructuring of Gerlin, which invests in small and medium-sized German listed companies, was successfully completed. With the execution of the final deed in a series of transactions, Gerlin NV merged into Gerlin Participaties Coöperatief UA.
The restructuring was an important step for the further growth of the fund. Gerlin Participaties can now issue new participations. Existing shareholders can further expand their stake, and new investors can join. Due to the new structure, corporate investors can invest from €250,000, taking advantage of the participation exemption.
Fund manager Rombout Houben: "The legal restructuring is important for the further development of the Gerlin Participaties fund. Existing and new corporate investors are also investing in the new structure with participation exemption in German small caps. By attracting new capital, the portfolio with eight participations can be further expanded in the coming years. Since its establishment in October 2016, Gerlin has achieved an average annual return of more than 10%, significantly outperforming the market."
