Sagard Private Equity Solutions Invests in IT Group

Sagard Private Equity Solutions has finalized the consolidation of multiple private equity platforms to establish a comprehensive global middle-market private equity solutions provider. The completed combinations include Performance Equity Management, BEX Capital, and Unigestion's private equity platforms, resulting in a unified platform managing over US$23 billion in combined private equity assets. This transaction represents a significant expansion of Sagard's global footprint and reinforces its position as a multi-strategy alternative asset management firm.

The newly consolidated platform operates across three major geographic regions—North America, Europe, and Asia—and maintains relationships with over 500 general partners across buyout, growth, and venture strategies. The platform serves 310+ institutional investors globally, drawing on over US$50 billion in total commitments to private equity strategies. This diversified GP network and investor base positions the platform to access differentiated opportunities typically unavailable to the broader market, leveraging long-standing partnerships grounded in trust and transparency.

Sagard Private Equity Solutions emphasizes a partnership-first investment approach combined with disciplined execution. The platform applies institutional-grade due diligence, governance, and risk management protocols across all investments while maintaining a 30+ year track record of partnership-led private equity investing through multiple market cycles. The strategy centers on achieving timely exits to deliver cycle-resilient and predictable cash flows for investors. Additionally, the platform is focused on harnessing innovation and technology to create more efficient investment practices and deliver enhanced institutional-quality portfolio management across its diversified strategy set.
