Switzerland-based investment manager is preparing an initial public offering in Germany.
At present, the company’s two largest shareholders are co-founder Ralph Winter, with 64.2%, and Swiss-listed company Intershop, with 28.1%.
Co-founder Thomas Landschreiber holds a 6.7% stake.
Proceeds of around €100m are expected to be raised with the listing, which the company said would be used for continued growth and co-investments with clients.
The company, which manages €1.4bn ($1.6bn) in assets, is aiming to increase the number of transactions and aim for higher deal volumes.
Sascha Wilhelm, chief executive at Capital Holding, said: “Going public will allow us to build on what we have achieved so far. It is the next logical step for us in driving our continued growth.�
Shares will also be offered to existing shareholders to allow for a free float of more than 50% after the IPO.
In addition to the German listing, Corestate will also offer a private placement to institutional investors in certain jurisdictions outside Germany and the US.
