The fund advised by the Munich-based investment company EMERAM Capital Partners GmbH, has agreed to sell its majority stake in Swiss based Xovis Holding AG to Capvis Equity V LP, a fund advised by the Swiss private equity firm Capvis AG. The parties have agreed not to disclose any financial details of the transaction. The three founders and managing directors – Christian Studer, David Studer and Markus Herrli – will remain shareholders of Xovis and will continue to lead the company in the next growth phase.

The team consisted of Lorenzo Olgiati, Oliver Triebold, Marcel Jakob, Karin Mülchi, Stefanie Maurer, Jessica Obrist and Alisa Zehner (all Corporate/M&A), Roland Mathys and Samuel Klaus (ICT), Michael Nordin and Petra Hess (Tax) and Philippe Borens (Banking & Finance).
