THE SPECIALIST BANKING
GROUP AT A GLANCE
Investkredit is a specialist banking group in Central

innovative market niches of its three segments
corporates, local government and real estate.
This combination gives Investkredit a unique position
in Austria and its core market. The Central

“In November 2004, two private equity funds –
Quadriga Capital and Lead Equities – took over
Palmers Textil AG, Austria’s market leader in lingerie.
To give the company a new boost to
achieving lasting success, it needs a
solid capital structure. The Investkredit
Group’s financing concept will ensure
that the company receives it.“
Thomas Weber

it as one of the three strongest providers in the relevant
market niches and being the quality leader
in these segments. Growth in the three segments
corporates, local government and real estate has
