DIORAMA Investments SICAR, S.A. ("Diorama") invests primarily in eligible Greek SMEs, which satisfy strict investment criteria: attractive sector dynamics, management quality and integrity, strong fundamentals and, obviously, growth potential.

Provide fuel for growth… Diorama provides capital to some of the most promising SMEs, through equity or equity-like instruments. The investment team works together with the management team of portfolio companies in order to produce attractive long-term results. …aiming at strategic minority stakes… Diorama prefers to obtain significant influence over absolute control and normally acquires significant minority stakes in the range of 10%-40%. Greek SMEs tend to rely significantly on the founders/ owners who normally possess a deep knowledge of the market, sector, customers, suppliers and key employees. As most owners will have the majority of their net worth tied in the companies, they will have a strong incentive for the companies to prosper. …in dynamic sectors… Diorama seeks investment opportunities in situations where the combination of management quality, sector dynamics and the fundamentals of the particular company indicate that the expected risk-adjusted return is attractive. Diorama is interested in a wide spectrum of sectors, with a focus on companies that have a proven track record, strong export orientation, import substitution capability, unutilized capacity and / or price appreciation potential. …with a hands-on approach… Diorama takes an active management approach with portfolio companies, using value-adding actions in order to improve operational efficiency, governance and discipline. Diorama’s efforts are complemented by the presence of operating advisors, professionals with extensive sector experience. …and a clear, three-fold exit strategy… Diorama has three alternative exit strategies, which may be used individually or in combination: (i) a trade sale of the portfolio company, (ii) a listing of the portfolio company in a Stock Exchange and (iii) a put option agreement either to the company or to the majority shareholder.

The members of the investment team have previously held senior positions in the financial sector and have more than 100 years of combined and complementary experience in the corporate, investment banking, capital markets and private equity markets, both in Greece and abroad. They have worked with many large and medium size Greek companies and they share an extensive knowledge of the SME sector. The team’s experience and strong network aided by a Board of distinguished personalities provide an edge for sourcing investments.
