What Makes Capito Capital Management Different from other Providers of Alternative Investments?
We focus on several types of alternative investments within shipping, real estate, credit bonds, and venture funds – areas often overlooked by traditional actors such as banks. Additionally, we offer a turn-key solution to our partners and operate on a “By Invitation Only” principle, ensuring exclusivity and quality while maintaining some of the industry’s lowest costs.
We only collaborate with partners whom we assess can deliver solid and attractive investment opportunities that fit our areas of expertise. All projects undergo thorough screening to ensure quality and potential.
We primarily work with semi-professional investors, including high-net-worth individuals and holding companies. These investors seek alternative investments with good return opportunities but also desire a personal and exclusive approach.
The minimum investment is EUR 100,000, which is dependent on the investment category and the nature of the project. Larger investments may be required, for example, to achieve specific tax benefits and automatic reinvestment of dividends.
The investment horizon varies, but most of our projects have a time horizon of 3-8 years for ships and real estate, while it can be somewhat shorter for structured products, which are often more liquid. A prospectus is prepared for each project with detailed information about expected returns, risks, and duration.
Tax depends on the specific project and the investor’s individual situation. We always recommend that investors consult their own accountant or tax advisor to fully understand the implications.
Our management team consists of experienced professionals in finance, sales, and administration. With Christian Friis as CEO and Sebastian Feenstra as COO, along with a strong back-office team, we ensure that both partners and investors have a professional experience.
Generally, we charge a commission based on a percentage of the capital raised, depending on the agreement with our partners. Additionally, we receive a performance fee, typically 10% of the profit achieved in the respective project. The fee structure is always detailed in the investment prospectuses and the accompanying KID documents.
No, we do not offer tax or investment advice. We present projects from our partners and ourselves, and invite potential investors to participate in various investment opportunities. We always recommend contacting your own advisor before making any investment.
We regularly host exclusive investor events under the name Capital & Canapés. These take place approximately every three weeks and provide an opportunity to meet the Capito team, as well as our partners, and learn about specific projects or relevant topics from the investment world.
You can sign up for our investor newsletter, which also gives you access to upcoming events and information about new investment opportunities.
All investments involve a certain degree of risk, and alternative investments can be more complex than traditional assets. We ensure that all investors always receive full information about risks before making decisions. You can always obtain a CI document (KID) for the respective project, as we operate under the PRIIP regulation.
As a rule, most alternative investments are illiquid, as there is no secondary market for the shares. Therefore, you can only exit the investment when it is concluded by us or our partners. When investing in structured products, prices are often quoted daily, making them more liquid. The prospectus clearly indicates the liquidity of the respective investment.
