Realza Capital invests in Spanish (and exceptionally Portuguese) companies that enjoy a relevant position in their market and have the opportunity and capacity to grow, either organically or through the acquisition of other companies. We specialise in medium sized companies (Ebitda between 3 and 10 million euros).
Our primary target is companies whose enterprise value is in the range of 20 to 80 million euros, with our fund's typical equity investment being between 10 and 30 million euros.
The stakes Realza Capital acquires are generally majority stakes.
Realza Capital is a stable medium to long term investor in the companies in which it participates. The time horizon of our holdings is between 4 and 6 years, although it is adapted to the particular circumstances of each operation. Divestment is generally carried out through sale to a strategic (industrial) buyer or other financial investor.
Independence. Realza Capital is independent from any family, industrial or financial group. The investors who provide the funds they manage (including pension funds, funds of funds and other institutional investors) entrust their management to the Realza Capital management team with the sole objective of maximising the value of the investee companies in the medium and long term.
Commitment. The founding partners are personal investors in Realza Capital, which reinforces their commitment to the companies in which the fund participates.
Agility. Realza Capital's investment and divestment decisions are made by an Investment Committee made up exclusively of its partners. In addition, one of them always represents Realza Capital on the Board of Directors of the investee companies.
Expertise. Realza Capital is made up of a highly qualified and committed team of professionals with more than 50 years of experience in Private Equity.
Value. Realza Capital's team of professionals provides the companies in which it participates and their management teams with the experience acquired in its activity in a wide range of sectors. Although Realza Capital is not involved in the day-to-day management of the companies in which it invests, it does make substantial contributions through its membership of the Boards of Directors (analysis and definition of the company's strategy, preparation of a business plan, identification of areas for improvement, identification and execution of acquisitions, improvement of the financial structure, design and implementation of incentive systems for the management team, etc.).
Our investors are mainly international institutional investors of recognised prestige, as well as Spanish institutional and family investors.
