Quadriga Capital Russia started in 1995 making it one of the first private equity firms that manages western institutional money allocated for investments in the Russian market.
From its headquarters in St. Petersburg and offices in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod QUADRIGA has successfully invested in a number of regional companies that are positioned to become national leaders in their respective industries. Quadriga Capital Russia has successfully implemented a generalist investment philosophy mitigating the risks associated with the concentration in any one particular sector. Previous investments include companies in the areas of branded consumer goods, consumer services, product packaging, pharmaceutical production and distribution as well as other forms of specialized retail. Additionally, we have participated very selectively in certain high technology investments that have had the proven ability to grow significantly through export and expansion in the international marketplace.
Over the past twelve years Quadriga Capital Russia has refined its investment processes, enhancing the speed of the decision-making process and concurrently securing its partner base. QUADRIGA's team of professionals have amassed a significant degree of operating experience over the years and very often take a pro-active approach in working with portfolio company management. This experience is clearly evident in the performance of the investee companies and continues to create value as it is applied going forward. |
