About Aquasourca

Aquasourca is a multi family office based in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. Established in 1996, it is an investment company with permanent capital, active in private equity and real estate, and it manages 200 million in private equity investments in small-cap companies and real estate. Unlike the typical profile of German family offices, which often invest in sectors and regions they know well, Defforey has no sector focus and invests internationally to diversify as broadly as possible. Aquasourca mainly takes minority shareholdings, preferring to be an active minority shareholder rather than to be in charge. This is not always understood by every company, especially in Germany, says Defforey. Aquasourca wants to be seen as a partner that contributes both capital and expertise, since almost all of its portfolio companies face the same challenges of managing necessary growth, financially and structurally. An investment manager represents Aquasourca on the board. Defforey and her investment managers, each assigned to specific countries, watch medium-sized companies with a turnover of 15 million to 100 million euros. An investment counts as successful if it doubles the invested capital within five to seven years.
