Swanlaab Venture Factory and Dutch investment company Scipio Holding Merges

Spanish asset manager Swanlaab Venture Factory and Dutch investment company Scipio Holding Group have teamed up to launch Scipio Swanlaab SF SCR, a fund that will invest in search funds globally.

The fund aims to capitalise on the growing opportunity created by family-owned SMEs that generate millions of dollars in profits each year.

Search funds, which invest in individuals or teams for two years with the aim of acquiring a business that they will later run, have been the best performing asset class over the past 25 years. Annual returns have exceeded 30%.

Scipio has over three years' experience of investing in this innovative asset class.
