Investment thesis
Fermia is a family office investing the private funds of Pavel Bouška and Petr Kříž and their families into prosperous companies in the Czech Republic and nearby areas. Rather than acquiring companies to resell them, it aims to build long-term partnerships with original owners who wish to fully or partially exit day-to-day management while remaining involved at a strategic level. Fermia also backs management teams seeking to acquire the companies they work in via management buy-outs, providing the financing needed. The firm focuses on further developing and reinvesting in acquired businesses to grow investors' assets over time.
