Structural difference
Where Accursia Capital and Tactical Management differ
Both houses share a Munich base and a holding-like capital logic. The difference lies in sector breadth. Accursia Capital is per its own description industrially focused with a clear sector canon (manufacturing, industrial goods, packaging, business services). Tactical Management is comprehensively sector-agnostic — industrials, services, brands, healthcare, infrastructure and technology are equally eligible.
The EBITDA threshold differs structurally. Accursia targets companies with EBITDA margins from negative to 5 per cent — an explicitly distressed orientation. Tactical Management addresses the broader range of special situations: turnaround, distressed, carve-out, spin-off, divestiture and succession — without an EBITDA precondition as filter.
Both houses are owner-managed and independent of external fund structures. This structural similarity makes both appealing for sellers seeking long-term holding perspectives. Geographic footprint differs: Accursia in Munich and Milan, Tactical Management in Munich, Vienna and Baar. For Italian-German transactions, Accursia is naturally more present; for German-Austrian-Swiss trilateral coverage, the Tactical Management footprint.
