General Counsel
Anava Capital’s Strategy is to be an important factor in the growth of the Central European economies – strengthening international trade relations and our own communities while creating long-term value for investors. By being present locally, meeting companies face-to-face, and utilizing the vast network of contacts we have developed by actively investing in the region, we gain an advantage over the competition.
We invest in three asset classes divided into specific separate funds: Private Equity, Private Debt, and Real Estate Lending.
When considering an investment, we start with defining a clear exit strategy.
We value co-investments with high quality, visionary management teams and ownership that can translate that vision into a superior value creation.
Our rigorous investment target selection focuses on sound, stable business models and on growing markets in order to deliver solid, predictable cash flows – whether in a non-cyclical sector or where there is a proven ability to manage through business cycles.
We are committed to Responsible Investment (RI) and incorporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into our investment process.

Investment Geographies
Our Investment Geographies are in Central Europe, include Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
These countries (predominately rated A- to AAA) provide a wide range of attractive investment opportunities.
Together, they represent the fastest growing, most developed, and most stable economies in Europe while offering significant potential for regional synergies and international growth.
The Central European economies are among the most diversified economies in the world and are resilient to economic shocks. All the target countries have safe and stable market practices based on European Union policies and regulation with strong multilateral connections.
The individual markets are export-driven and represent significant investment targets for international companies, which navigate towards Central Europe due to its strategic location in the EU, the availability of high-quality human resources, an attractive business culture, supportive tax systems, and the region’s economic stability.
With our head office in Warsaw, we are building a substantial portfolio of opportunities in both larger, more developed economies and smaller, more rapidly developing investment targets. That is how we secure the best possible merger and/or exit strategies.
