COFRA

Cofra operates as a long-term family-owned holding and investment company. It allocates capital into wholly owned and majority-owned operating businesses and specialist investment platforms across private equity, real estate, listed assets, renewable energy and sustainable food. Value is created through disciplined capital deployment, active ownership, strategic portfolio restructuring (including selective divestments and IPOs), and building sector-specific platforms that can attract external capital.

Its private equity and asset management arms manage third-party and family assets, earning recurring management fees and performance-linked carried interest. The real estate platform acquires, develops and manages property portfolios and structured lending vehicles, generating rental income, asset management fees and financing margins. Operating businesses in fashion retail, horticulture and solar energy generate revenue from product and project sales and long-term service or offtake contracts. Across the portfolio, Cofra aims to compound returns for the Brenninkmeijer family while increasingly opening selected platforms to external investors to scale.

Cofra Holding AG is a Switzerland-based privately held investment group that coordinates the global business interests of the Brenninkmeijer family. It owns and oversees a diversified portfolio spanning apparel retail, private equity, real estate investment and asset management, public markets asset management, renewable energy, and sustainable food and horticulture solutions.

The group generates revenue primarily through operating income from its portfolio companies (such as fashion retail, greenhouse engineering and solar project development), alongside management and performance fees from private equity and asset management platforms, and rental, development and lending income from real estate activities. Its direct customers are institutional investors, family offices, corporates and commercial growers, while some subsidiaries sell directly to mass-market retail consumers; at the holding level, however, Cofra functions as an investment and ownership platform rather than a consumer-facing brand.
