Investment Strategy


Synergia Capital Partners aims at the so-called middle segment of Dutch companies. This is where our combination of knowledge and capital does itself justice. For very large deals the amount of money available and the possibilities of financial engineering are decisive, thus making the large national and international Private Equity providers prevalent in this segment. With smaller investments the knowledge of investors is decisive. Many informal investors who invests hands-on re active here. Synergia Capital Partners lies between these two extremes since it is not only capable of mobilising a substantial amount of capital but also mobilising extensive knowledge and experience.

Synergia Capital Partners aims particularly at investments in companies active in a niche market and which are striving after growth through the application of a buy-and-build-strategy. This creates market leaders by grouping together various companies through acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures.

The most important target groups of Synergia Capital Partners are family-owned businesses, divestments of non-core activities from large multinationals and companies with growth prospects. Synergia's third fund has a total committed fund capital of 60 million Euros. This fund will invest in 8-10 companies with a transaction amount of between 10 - 50 million Euros per transaction.
