Investment Strategy

SARMIS aims to invest €15-30m per deal (with the ability to deploy significanly more) in majority equity stakes, alongside owners / managers of entrepreneurial companies with high growth potential and good convergence play to Western European standards.

In time, we have become the partner of choice for local entrepreneurs, having the ability to source proprietary, non-auction deals. In turn, this provides us with best access to finance, legal / tax and advisory providers.

The region offers substantial value creation opportunities, due to the significant catch-up potential relative to global and European PE fundraising and deal penetration levels, in the context of sizeable markets with strong growth.
