"Tailored junior capital

for the mid-market"

SMF I

Syntaxis Capital is pleased to announce the 1st close of its Central European mezzanine fund, with total commitments just under half its targeted amount. Limited partners in the Fund include the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, MassMutual Life Insurance Company, VCM, UniCredit Markets & Investment Banking (BA-CA) and Themis Equity Partners.

Syntaxis Mezzanine Fund I’s investment strategy is to provide junior capital to mid-market private companies in the new European Union member-states of Central Europe. The Fund aims to provide capital alongside private equity funds in buyouts, as well as directly to growing companies in sponsorless transactions, for acquisitions, for expansion and recapitalisations. The typical investment size will range between €5 million to €15 million, but through active direct involvement with the Fund’s existing and prospective limited partners, Syntaxis Capital expects that the Fund will be able to structure junior capital investments in much larger amounts.
