ORIGEM Responsible Investment

Origem Responsible Investment is a Portuguese independent search fund founded to match capital with valuable assets through a deal-by-deal investment strategy. The organization focuses on private equity strategies, particularly in the areas of succession challenges, growth, operational improvements, and turnarounds. It aims to address the potential of the Portuguese market, which has a relatively low presence of private equity and venture funds compared to its GDP. Origem invests in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing succession challenges, carve-outs, financial stress cases, and restructurings. The organization seeks business units, assets, or companies with revenues above 5 million euros and those that are market leaders facing turnaround challenges. It is particularly interested in sectors with strong future growth rates, a return on invested capital greater than 15%, and favorable exit liquidity. Origem provides tailored equity solutions and flexible funding strategies for each investment opportunity.
