Jet Investment opens its fourth private equity fund for qualified investors

Jet 4 follows the company's long-term successful investment strategy focused on the acquisition of medium-sized industrial companies with strong growth potential that are located in Central Europe – especially in Czechia, Poland, Germany, Austria and Slovakia.

From the sectoral perspective, the new fund will focus on industries in which Jet Investment has a history of proven experience and excellent results while expanding its coverage into related promising areas. Such areas include advanced materials and technical textiles, alternative energy sources, carbon capture and waste recovery technologies, rail and automotive industries including modern mobility, construction, industrial engineering, medical technology, food and beverages, as well as housing and household equipment. At the same time, the fund will remain open to other industries according to current opportunities. The total planned number of acquisitions is 8 to 12, with individual transactions ranging from approximately €10 million to €60 million.

"The fact that we are opening our fourth private equity fund underscores the confidence our investors place in us, which we treat with the utmost respect and greatly appreciate. Since 2010, we have earned them over CZK 11 billion[1] and we believe that Jet 4 will let us add more to this number. At the same time, we invest in the fund ourselves – partners and members of the Jet Investment team plan to invest 10 to 15% of its total volume," says Marek Malík, Managing Partner of Jet Investment. "Private equity remains the main pillar of our business and the Jet 4 fund is our vehicle to actively seek further attractive investment opportunities in Central Europe."

Both institutional and private qualified investors can join the fund. The minimum investment amount is € 400 thousand; smaller investments can be made through the Conseq feeder fund, starting from € 40 thousand. Jet 4 will target returns of around 17% p.a.[2] at the time when the investors' money is actively invested. The investment horizon of the fund will be 10 years, just like that of its predecessor. The base currency is the euro, yet it is possible to deposit funds in the corresponding equivalent in Czech crowns.

Jet 4 is Jet Investment's fourth private equity fund. It builds on the Jet 3 fund, opened in early 2022, which ended its subscription period in 2024 and is now in the investment phase. The portfolio of Jet 3 currently includes Fiberpreg, Likov, Plastiwell International and the Náš Chléb group.

Jet Investment will thus manage five qualified investor funds – apart from the newly opened Jet 4 and the aforementioned Jet 3 fund, the portfolio of funds is formed by Jet 2 (private equity), Jet Venture 1 (venture capital) and Jet Industrial Lease (real estate). Through the funds, Jet Investment manages assets worth more than CZK 17 billion.
