Earlier this year, the private equity firm also bought a 5% stake in another German lender, Commerzbank.
“We have a constructive view of European fundamentals and believe Germany is a highly attractive place to invest, in particular. Within Germany, we believe there are attractive long-term opportunities in retail and corporate banking due to Germany’s robust economy, high savings rate, and a number of other factors,” a Cerberus spokesman stated.
“We welcome every investor who believes in the value potential of the Deutsche Bank share,” the bank noted.
