In an interview for Poslovni.hr, Managing Partner Slaven Kordić discussed the firm’s investment strategy, the successful transatlantic exit of Museum of Illusions, and the launch of Invera’s new investment fund.

Speaking about the transaction with U.S.-based private equity firm Brightwood Capital Advisors, Slaven highlighted the importance of scaling the business in the U.S. market, where Museum of Illusions generates most of its revenues today. As Invera retained a minority stake, it continues to support the company through its board role as the business expands globally..

Slaven also revealed that Invera’s upcoming fund is expected to exceed €240 million, backed by among others, international institutional investors and Croatian pension funds. The fund will primarily target investments across Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, while selectively exploring opportunities in the DACH region.

The interview also covered Invera’s investment approach, including active operational support for portfolio companies, involvement in organisational and human resources management, and a focus on investments in businesses with clear potential for international expansion and long-term growth.

Discussing the performance of Invera’s first fund, Slaven stated that the firm expects to rank among the top 10% of private equity funds in Europe by returns.
