We invest in special situations

Lazarus is an investment company, acquiring majority shares in companies in vulnerable positions due to financial or operational challenges, but where there are likely prospects for operational improvements. In addition to such special situations, we are actively seeking businesses being divested from larger corporations or groups (carve-outs and spin-offs).
