More than just shareholders … partners

Sagard MidCap supports portfolio company management teams in addressing all the issues in growing and managing their companies. This close collaboration is based upon:

• Close interaction with a stable, experienced and reactive Sagard MidCap team with 20 years experience working together to support SMEs
• A team of 4 professionals per deal including 2 Partners
• An autonomous, local and entrepreneurially cultured Investment Committee comprised of the Sagard MidCap partners
• A deep bench of seasoned industrial advisors
• A unique ecosystem comprising around 30 families providing multiple points of access to new markets and geographies

An original approach rooted in our family DNA

• A flexible investment timeframe aligned with the management team’s industrial project.
• Growth focused, encompassing organic growth, capex driven growth or acquisitive growth (on average over 4 build-up deals per investment, over 50% international)
• Flexibility in ticket size (€40-€200m) and in structuring (majority or active minority deals)
• Vigilance in defending the values that underpinned the success of the families that support us: discretion, exemplarity and respect for business teams and cultures
