Company Overview

CADC Switzerland GmbH is a professional services platform incorporated in Canton Zug, specializing in cultural asset development and advisory. The company operates on a non-discretionary advisory model, providing structured due diligence, provenance research, and value development services to institutional and private clients managing art and cultural assets.

Revenue derives from three primary sources: development fees (DF) on sourcing and research, acquisition fees (AF) on transaction execution, and exit fees (EF) as a success fee on value creation. The corporate structure separates operational management (CADC Company) from investment participation (FounderCo) to align incentives and optimize cash flow distribution.

Sensitivity Analysis: Tornado Chart

Interpretation: The tornado chart shows the sensitivity of Y5 EBITDA to percentage changes in key input variables. Variables with the longest bars have the greatest impact on operating profitability.

MOIC Matrix: Uplift % x EBITDA Multiple

Two-Way Sensitivity: Uplift % x Capital Scale

Investor Net MOIC: Uplift % x Hold Period

Reading this matrix: Each cell shows the investor's net MOIC after all fees (AF, DF, EF, selling costs) for a given uplift and hold period. This is what the investor actually receives.
