Investment Thesis

Argus Data Insights aims to continue its growth trajectory by strengthening its commercial capabilities, increasing its share of the wallet at its existing customer base, pursuing add-on acquisitions and capitalizing on favorable market dynamics. During our investment period we supported Argus to acquire ZMS Services AG, the customer portfolio of Infopaq GmbH, Meta Communications GmbH and AG, Archwave AG and MTM Media AG.

The company is debt free and we intend to achieve our investment return through long-term growth, digital transformation of the business model to more software as a service and high returns on re-invested capital.
