London, November 30, 2022. In the article “Times are getting “volatile”” by Detlef Fechtner, which appeared today in the German daily newspaper Börsen-Zeitung, Robus Capital is quoted. “Tailwind restructuring is over,” says Andreas Jaufer, managing partner at asset management company Robus. After the environment in the past 12 years had facilitated the financial restructuring of company balance sheets, the pressure is now increasing from all sides.

Robus Capital was interviewed about the demand of SMEs for loans provided by private debt funds by Die Welt. In the article “Private debt funds sniff out opportunities” by Christina Anastassiou (Issue 233, Oct. 12, 2021, p. 14), Robus Capital is described as follows: “Robus Capital Management’s five debt funds have different focuses ranging from “fair-weather over special situations to restructuring cases,” according to Portfolio Manager Mark Hoffmann. They contain “over 120 companies at any given time.” Direct lending to companies accounts for “a maximum of ten to 15 percent of the total portfolio.” Source: Die Welt (2021).

Frankfurt, September 15, 2015. Robus Capital spoke with Finance-Magazin about the Scandinavian bond market. In the article “The Nordic Mini-Bond Miracle” from Michael Hedstück (Issue September/October 2015, pages 31-35), Robus was cited as follows: “The Scandinavian bond market is very interesting for high-yield investors,” says Dieter Kaiser, Managing Director of Robus Capital, an asset management company that focuses on high-yield investments in mid-sized companies, but ignores most issues from the German Mittelstands-Bond market. This is for a good reason, as Kaiser mentions: “In comparison with the German Mittelstands-Bond market, Scandinavia has established a very large and well-functioning market with professional [bond] structures.” Source: Finance-Magazin (2015).
