At GBL's Q1 2025 conference, newly appointed CEO Johannes Huth, former partner at KKR (now advisory partner), outlined a strategic shift towards more private capital to boost shareholder value.

He targets double-digit total shareholder return and the reduction of the NAV discount by focusing on the investment process. GBL's zero LTV and €5.6 billion ...

Key question is whether the latter, who spearheaded some of KKR's mo...
