The holding provides centralized services in management, finance, accounting, controlling, human resources and IT to its portfolio companies and steers them through regular Jour Fixes and board meetings. In Energy, the portfolio spans best connect (energy pool/aggregation), Piadeno (green energy management), Spotty (retail energy provider) and Voltida (customized battery storage).

Portfolio companies collectively serve customers in more than 70 countries, and Gasser+Partner has operated for more than 25 years without external institutional shareholders.
