Kirchner Group is a unique values-based corporate ecosystem, maximizing individual and social benefit through our unwavering commitment to the thoughtful integration of ‘earning and returning’.
The following illustrates some of the numerous entities involved.

Earn
We believe that every business, and every portfolio of businesses, can be made more valuable. Our ‘earn’ model, based on decades of experience in traditional merchant banking, honing successful businesses and investments, finds the untapped value in companies, and helps them prosper through our process and domain approach.

Advisory

Asset Management

Return
We believe that every business should contribute to a positive human future. Our ‘return’ model includes three integrated components: ‘head’ (sharing the benefit of decades of creating solutions), ‘hip’ (capital) and ‘heart’ (passion to execute and a desire to make a difference). When these attributes are applied to social enterprise and philanthropic pursuits, we trust the world becomes a better place.

Philanthropic

Impact

We look for opportunities where social, cultural and/or environmental impacts can drive performance advantages and financial returns, also known as financial-first impact.
