While Siguler Guff’s client base is overwhelmingly institutional in dollar terms, the firm has established relationships over the years with a broad array of individual private equity investors. These include individual investors in its funds, management of its institutional clients, general partners of funds in which it has invested, corporate entities, and other friends of the firm. To better serve this diverse group of investors, the firm established Siguler Guff Capital Partners, a unique program in which Siguler Guff will co-invest with its individual investors in top quality, best of breed private equity funds - both domestically and internationally – across the range of private equity opportunities in buyouts, venture capital, distressed, mezzanine financing, and special situation/turnarounds. Siguler Guff will identify, evaluate, and access these unique private equity opportunities (in most cases, access to top-tier private equity firms and investment minimums would otherwise be prohibitive to smaller investors) and allow each investor in Siguler Guff Capital Partners to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to participate. Siguler Guff Capital Partners forms a separate special purpose limited liability company for the investment in each fund and provides Siguler Guff’s investors with consolidated reports of all the funds in which they choose to participate. More clearly defined, Siguler Guff creates customized fund-of-funds products for each of its individual clients.

Siguler Guff’s individual investors find Siguler Guff Capital Partners a convenient and efficient way to leverage Siguler Guff’s resources, relationships and intellectual capital to invest alongside Siguler Guff’s own capital in private equity funds that might not otherwise be available to them due to high investment minimums and accessibility.
