Siguler Guff
Multi-strategy private equity investing; direct investment and fund-of-funds
Headquartered in New York, USA, Siguler Guff & Company, LP (‘Siguler Guff’) is a specialist manager, dedicated exclusively to multi-strategy private equity investing. The firm manages and co-manages several direct investment private equity funds and fund-of-funds, each targeted at carefully defined areas of market inefficiency.
Siguler Guff has a deep knowledge and understanding of the private equity landscape and, over many years, has built relationships globally across all strategies. As a result, Siguler Guff is able to gain access to many managers that are closed to new capital or over-subscribed. Siguler Guff seeks to be a leader in its respective market niches. Each strategy is staffed independently and takes advantage of the firm’s long history as direct investors to add value well beyond the research and selection of managers. Siguler Guff believes that each fund represents a very efficient and diversified solution for investors to pursue the high returns available within these market opportunities. Siguler Guff’s fund-of-funds have received support from organisations that typically only consider investing in direct funds for a variety of reasons, one of which is transparency and the willingness to serve as an extension of their staff in researching each segment of the market where Siguler Guff has deep domain expertise.
Founded in 1991 within Paine Webber, Siguler Guff has over 100 employees worldwide with offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Moscow, Shanghai and a local affiliate office in Mumbai.
