Investment Focus
Founded in 1993 by operators and entrepreneurs, Sverica’s investment focus has always been on owner-operated businesses in the lower middle market. Having been deeply involved with middle market enterprises for most of our careers, we believe maintaining this focus makes the best use of our skills and experience. The strength and growth of our portfolio companies continually validate this assertion.

Long Term Value Creation
Our primary objective is to create long-term, sustainable value for our investors and for the management teams with whom we partner. We understand that this often requires making tradeoffs that impact short-term profits. Our strong investment returns have been driven by operating strategies that maximize long term cash flow growth and make efficient use of capital, rather than by heavy financial leverage or market timing. Sverica is committed to measuring and rewarding the successful implementation of long term strategies.

Operating Philosophy
Sverica’s professionals are passionate about assisting our portfolio companies in developing and executing their growth plans. When assessing a potential investment, we focus on a company's reputation with its customers, employees, and suppliers, and its potential for growth and development. After the deal closes, each company is supported by a team that can go from being a high-level strategic advisor to providing detailed analytical support on competitive strategy development, financing issues, and positioning for expansion.
