Once we identify unique opportunities and attractive returns that are often too small for professional investors, our parent holding company, SP Capital Management, often considers making a direct investment—either alone or in partnership with our clients. Our deal history includes Moreca (acquisition of a majority stake), Beaufort Securities (acquisition of a minority stake), Salateira, Georgian Fruit Company, and more, including through majority and minority equity stakes, convertible loan facilities, and pure debt.
