Brederode is an international investment company whose shares are listed on the Brussels Euronext and Luxembourg Stock Exchanges. PERFORMANCE, INDEPENDENCE AND STRENGTH Mission & Strategy Brederode’s mission is to create long-term value for its shareholders. Its portfolio is henceforth made up of two different and complementary sectors; that of investments in unlisted companies (“Private Equity”) and that of investments in listed securities. The appeal of Private Equity is linked to the opportunity it offers of securing higher returns than those expected from the stock market. Beyond its own return objectives, the listed securities portfolio is increasingly regarded as an ultimate financing reserve in support of Private Equity. It continues to be subject to rigorous management, with the aim of achieving a balance between its defensive character and the objectives of profitability, liquidity and growth. Brederode is today one of the few companies specialised in Private Equity, publicly traded and self-managed to the exclusive interest of its shareholders. Brederode also benefits from the stability of its controlling shareholder from which the executive management emanates. This means that the latter can take a long term view, less subject to the influence of disruptive external factors and therefore less affected by short-term considerations. Finally, Brederode benefits from an overall level of management costs lower than that of the market and an uncompromising governance structure. Our history The roots of the public limited company Brederode, specializing in international risk capital investments, reach deep and are closely linked to the defining moments in the economic history of Belgium and its former colony. OUR HISTORY IN NUTSHELL (1804 – TODAY) Its present structure is the result of a huge number of acquisitions and mergers and this both location-wise and time-wise. This reorganization leading to the present structure took more than 40 years and started in 1970. The six companies which were principally involved in this long process of acquisitions share the same characteristics each necessitating a change of course. These characteristics include, inter alia, having reached the end of the life cycle, possessing remaining assets which are easy to sell, being in a situation with unstable and unhappy shareholders. First and foremost these assets focus on promising future investments yielding increased long-term added value.
