The Direct Private Investments platform builds on the J. Safra Sarasin Group's own legacy as a principal investor, with a long history of private deal underwriting, sustainable asset management, and investee stewardship. The platform is an inherently independent buy-side offering, uniquely built to serve the most discerning investors – exclusively and without compromise. More distinctively, we play to the strengths of the Group, both as an agile private investor, opportunistic through unconstrained origination coupled with fast decision-making, and as a disciplined institutional investor, underpinned by systematic and robust due diligence, active deal negotiation and risk mitigation.
