How we invest.

Designed for the smaller end of the Iberian buyout market, where founder-led businesses meet institutional capital, often for the first time. We bring the same operating discipline as our flagship strategy, recalibrated for businesses at an earlier institutional stage.

Our role is to support succession, professionalisation and the first chapter of structured growth: building the management team, the financial reporting infrastructure, and the strategic clarity needed to scale. We typically lead transactions, but are equally comfortable structuring partnerships with founders who wish to remain involved in the next chapter.

The vehicle for this strategy is Abac Horizon, registered under the Innvierte programme, which incorporates ESG and impact considerations into its investment mandate.
