INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

To achieve our goal, we have made progress in creating an investment platform, one capable of meeting the capital and financial backing needs of companies and projects from their earliest start-up and scale-up phases through to growth and maturity.

Our commitment goes beyond any traditional view of delivering "exclusive" financial returns: rather, we are focused on maximising the positive environmental and social impact of our investments, contributing to lasting and shared value beyond the investment period.

To this end, we have three investment strategies: SC Growth, SC Infra and SC Venture.

SC Growth

We partner with founders and business leaders with strong, profitable and innovative business models. Our goal is to drive their growth initiatives and accompany them in the strategic direction of the business, without interfering in their day-to-day business. We place our extensive experience in growing projects at their service, strengthening the balance sheet, attracting talent and planning the necessary resources.

We invest directly in Spanish companies, taking majority or minority stakes. We have a preference for sectors that revolve around current megatrends, such as sustainability, digital economy, health and wellness.

We are committed to responsible and sustainable investment that balances financial performance with positive environmental and social benefits. For this reason, our investees are committed to integrating sustainability criteria into their business strategy and operations, implementing plans to improve their environmental management and promoting decarbonisation, in addition to best labour, social and good governance practices.

We promote: Internationalisation strategies; Market consolidation projects; Mainstreaming sustainability and decarbonisation; Professionalisation of decision-making and governance bodies; Digitalisation; Attracting talent.

SC Infra

We focus on developing infrastructures for energy transition and waste circularity, actively promoting renewable energies, waste recovery, decarbonised mobility and efficient water management. We see sustainable and efficient infrastructure as a key building block in the fight against climate change.

We carefully select our greenfield and brownfield projects, prioritising those that make a significant contribution to environmental objectives, provide additionality and positive impacts to be measured. We consider these aspects to be crucial in assessing the viability of an investment.

We seek to develop solutions that not only address environmental challenges, but also generate positive economic and social impacts at local and regional level. We address unattended territorial challenges, promoting a sustainable approach to the needs of each community. To achieve these goals, we partner with the best and develop flexible, bespoke operations to achieve dual financial and socio-environmental success.

We divide our operations into three typologies: (1) Build-to-core; (2) Operational value-add; (3) Platform expansion.

SC Venture

Innovation has emerged as a fundamental lever for the long-term success and survival of our economy and society, and as a response to the global challenges for the decarbonisation of industry, energy or mobility. In this context, through investments in SC Venture we promote companies and technological solutions that will enable us to achieve a low-emission economy and the Net Zero goal.

Through strong partnerships with technology companies, we foster the development of clean technologies and innovative solutions to move towards the decarbonisation of the economy and promote its transition to a circular model. We prioritise investment in early growth stages, scale-ups, to scale these technologies to an industrial level, materialising innovations for current and future environmental challenges.

Our strategy at SC Venture not only brings capital to scaling up companies, but also provides valuable strategic, commercial, operational and technological support. We provide access to our extensive network of contacts and actively collaborate to maximise their positive impacts in the fight against climate change, as well as in the implementation of sustainable business management practices.

We focus on three areas of interest: Decarbonization of industry; Renewable energies; Advanced mobility.

Our commitment to driving economic growth, while making a lasting positive impact on the planet and society, forms part of the firm's Purpose to build a more sustainable, just and equitable world.

Our fiduciary duty towards our investors takes shape via the pursuit of attractive financial returns with a balanced risk profile, by excellent research and the adoption of sustainability or ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria in our investments. Being the trusted partner and support for our investees, as well as for our clients, investors, technical partners and associates is key to achieving our objectives of transforming the economy towards sustainable development and solutions to global challenges.

For this reason, the different strategies for responsible, sustainable and impact investments have been a part of Suma Capital's strategy since its inception. This approach leads the creation and protection of economic, environmental and social value in the territory, driving our business and that of our investors towards new opportunities under the principles of responsibility, excellence and vision for the future.

In SC Growth, we partner with founders and managers of companies with solid and differentiated business models, willing to undertake ambitious growth projects that generate sustained value in the long term. Direct and active investment in high-growth Spanish companies, with turnover over €10m and EBITDA over €2m.

In SC Infra, we seek to invest in sustainable infrastructure through projects or asset-based companies in the field of energy transition and circular economy. We partner with technical partners to develop value-added strategies that enable us to have high cash flow visibility, asset-based and positive impact.

In SC Venture, we seek to partner with promising entrepreneurs and companies to scale up technologies and solutions that decarbonise the economy and enhance its circularity. We invest in scale-up to bring these technologies to industrial scale to address perhaps the greatest challenge we face as humanity.
