Strategy

Solvo Capital aims to back private equity GPs throughout the life of their portfolio companies with a solution-driven approach.

Mission

Our mission is to select direct secondary transactions offering an attractive risk-return profile while supporting GPs and their companies throughout an extended period of development thanks to a solution-driven approach.

We combine strict investment criteria with:

  • In depth company due diligence
  • Decades of accumulated lending and investing experience
  • Support from our Senior Advisors and entrepreneurs network

We aim to be agile and reliable for our partners whilst acting with conviction to back companies with strong potential.

Our values shape our approach

Reliability

Reliability is at the heart of what we do. We stick to our commitments and execute operations reliably and consistently.

Trust

Trust is central to us becoming a valued partner. Our actions are driven by the logic of partnership, which can only be based on long-term trust.

Rigor

Rigor in our work underpins the quality of our analysis and execution. Valuing expertise and rigor allows us to meet the high expectations of the market in which we operate.

Flexibility

Flexibility is an integral part of our DNA and culture. Providing tailored solutions and being agile in any deal context is what we strive for.

Sustainability

ESG Principles

Responsible investment is an integral part of our culture and values. Our conviction is that Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") principles are fundamental in achieving long-term success, value creation and sustainable performance for investors and companies alike.

We pursue an integrated ESG approach designed to achieve long-term sustainable returns and built on the following pillars:

  • Strict sector policy with clear investment exclusions
  • Scoring and monitoring framework with a defined set of assessment criteria covering social, environmental and governance aspects

We also seek to engage with GPs and companies on the development and implementation of their ESG policies and roadmaps.
