Perpetual Investment

What is Perpetual Investment?

Perpetual Investors GmbH is an independent investment office, originally established by the Wilsdorf family, known for its association with ROLEX SA and Fondation Hans Wilsdorf. Despite its illustrious heritage, it operates separately from both entities.

The firm, rooted in the tragedy and resilience of the orphaned Wilsdorf siblings, espouses a philosophy of durability, reliability, and a commitment to future generations, mirroring the principles that have steered the family since 1945. Perpetual Investors GmbH prides itself on enduring performance, trustworthy investment processes, and a commitment to long-term value preservation.

It employs a systematic approach with the goal of generating consistent returns and long-term compounding benefits by diversifying across asset classes, including private equity, private credit, real assets, and multi-asset investments. The firm's strategies emphasize targeted diversification, best-in-class manager selection, and the use of evergreen funds, aiming to maximize returns for investors while accounting for costs and externalities impacting society and the environment.

The investment thesis involves a mix of direct and co-investments, niche investment opportunities, and a multigenerational view focused on sustainable and effective investments. Perpetual Investors GmbH has structured its investment programs into distinct, high-quality funds that can be combined or used individually, suiting both outsourced investment management and wealth management needs.

They prioritize the alignment of interests by heavily investing the Wilsdorf family's assets and employees' commitments into their funds, fostering a culture of accountability and mutual success. Additionally, through Perpetual Growth, the firm seeks to empower entrepreneurs in sectors like AI, fintech, marketplaces, and software, primarily within Europe, Israel, and the US, by providing capital and strategic resources.

Perpetual Investors GmbH has established itself not just as a family office but as a substantial partner for enduring enterprises and visionary founders aiming to make a lasting impact and perpetuate the spirit of enterprise.
