SwanCap’s institutional funds have been listed as top quartile performers according to Preqin and the publication “Institutional Investor” has ranked SwanCap as one of the most consistently excellent fund-of-funds managers in private equity.
SwanCap follows an "investment boutique approach" which aims to provide best-in-class service to a defined investor segment and specialising in a limited number of investment programs. SwanCap believes this approach is optimised to ensure that capital will be deployed toward the best investment opportunities while minimizing potential allocation conflicts (or avoiding them altogether). SwanCap has been working for many years with its investors and has built trusted long-term partnerships.
Investment portfolios of SwanCap are created with the objective to optimise returns, while striving for capital preservation and minimising volatility. Therefore, SwanCap's portfolio construction is focused on high-quality assets, diversification across fund managers, the number and size of underlying companies, geographies, sectors, and other factors that SwanCap deems important to maximise risk-adjusted returns for investors.
Today, SwanCap constitutes one of the largest dedicated investment teams and industry players in Germany, capable of acting as a strategic partner for many leading private equity managers.
