Investor Access About Us Investment Strategies Responsible Investing Our Team News Careers Contact Us Small Buyout Siguler Guff’s Small Buyout Opportunities Fund (“SBOF”), with over $4.5 billion of assets under management, seeks to invest in “best in class” small and lower middle market companies through commitments to private equity funds and equity co-investments alongside small buyout fund managers and deal sponsors. The platform targets small yet well-established, specialized companies that are typically family/founder owned and/or owner-operated. Siguler Guff believes that the small and lower middle market offers inefficiencies and a variety of appealing characteristics, including substantial deal flow, less competitive transaction dynamics, lower purchase multiples, conservative leverage and significant value creation potential. SBOF considers itself to be one of the largest and most active investors in the small and lower middle market, with commitments to over 100 private equity funds and over 150 equity co-investments since its formation in 2005. Siguler Guff has been an instrumental partner to its managers by investing in over 40 first time funds and over 80 emerging managers (defined as funds with roman numerals I, II or III). This powerful platform has invested in over 700 small businesses employing over 249,000 individuals. The network created by these investments has resulted in valuable resources and insights that benefit all of its companies and managers. To deploy this strategy, Siguler Guff raises dedicated pools of capital from its limited partners. The most recent fund, SBOF IV, closed on $1.575 billion of commitments in December 2019.
