Strategic investors are often considered superior to pure financial investors because they bring benefits beyond mere capital. Their long-term perspective focuses on sustainable development and integration into their own business strategy, unlike financial investors, who often aim for quick returns and resale due to fund term constraints. Strategic investors, typically active in the same or a related industry, enable synergies such as shared distribution channels, purchasing advantages, or know-how transfer, fostering growth and efficiency. They strengthen the target company’s market position by enhancing reach and competitiveness. Additionally, their industry expertise allows them to assess the company’s situation directly, reducing reliance on external consultants. They are willing to pay higher purchase prices due to expected synergies and long-term benefits. They look to the future rather than the past. In contrast, financial investors frequently use debt financing, which burden the acquired company with liquidity risks, and prioritize short-term profit maximization through cost-cutting or asset sales, potentially neglecting long-term development.
