Capital. Culture. Network.

Put the right resources behind your next move.

You’re making a decision about what comes next for your portfolio, your business or your family. Put the relevant expertise and relationships behind it.

You don’t need a fund name. Start with the decision in front of you.

Start with what needs to change

You need the missing piece, not more complexity.

You may already have investment managers, financial advisers or a source of capital. What matters now is whether those resources can support the decision ahead.

Start with what you need to accomplish. Then examine the options.

02 / Your options

You remain accountable after the capital is committed.

For eligible Canadian investors / Private credit

Seek income through private lending.

For eligible Canadian investors / Private equity

Pursue long-term growth through private equity.

The Sagard Private Equity Strategies Fund provides exposure through secondaries, co-investments and primary fund commitments, focused on small and middle-market opportunities.

Assess the fund against your investment horizon and capacity for loss. Objectives are not guaranteed, and access to redemptions is not assured.

Review private-equity details

Eligibility comes first. These are Canadian product routes for eligible investors. Review the relevant eligibility requirements and offering documents on Sagard’s product pages.

Both pages publish an initial minimum of 25,000 in the applicable unit currency. A minimum investment does not establish suitability. Terms and availability may change.

Institutional and partner statements elsewhere on this page are not testimonials for these two funds. Review evidence specific to the product you are considering.

Company building

Put the right backing behind your growth.

Your next stage may require a different team, a new market or an acquisition you have not attempted before.

Capital matters. So does what happens after the investment. Explore a partner whose focus matches your company, then examine the practical support available through that relationship.

Share what you are building, where you are today and what the next stage requires. Investment fit, governance and the scope of support require a separate discussion.

Business financing

Finance your next move on terms you understand.

You have a use for the capital.

An acquisition to complete. Growth to fund. Debt to refinance. Start with the plan, then examine the financing structure, obligations and trade-offs involved.

Canadian wealth advisers

Explore the Sagard Private Credit Fund and Sagard Private Equity Strategies Fund. Review current investment information, eligibility, fees, risks and liquidity conditions.

Distribution partners

Explore a relationship around your clients’ needs.

Discuss your firm, your market and the investment capabilities you are seeking. Products and distribution arrangements depend on jurisdiction and the particular relationship.

Discuss a distribution relationship

A partnership announcement does not establish that every Sagard product is available in every market. Confirm the applicable offering and distribution arrangements.

One goal can lead to more than one conversation.

An equity partnership may include relevant operating support. A later business sale could lead to a separate wealth discussion. Each engagement needs its own assessment, terms and consent. A connected platform does not mean one bundled service or automatic access to every offering.

Support after investment

Put support where your plan needs it.

Look beyond the cheque. Discuss the capabilities your next stage requires and the scope available through your portfolio-company relationship.

01

Reach customers.

Discuss sales and marketing expertise, commercial leadership and talent sourcing.

02

Develop your capabilities.

Explore specialist support for technology, cybersecurity and operational improvements.

03

Execute the next initiative.

Discuss acquisitions, business acceleration and exit readiness.

04

Connect with relevant partners.

Explore tailored introductions linked to the priorities of your business.

These capabilities are described within Sagard’s Value Creation and Partnerships offering. They are not presented here as a standalone consulting service or identical support for every relationship.

Selected excerpts from public announcements, concerning the relationships and dates shown. Business outcomes, financing transactions and partner expectations are different types of evidence. These statements are not presented as representative of every relationship and do not predict your results. No direct Sagard Wealth client testimonial is presented.

04 / The first conversation

Start by establishing fit.

You don’t need to arrive with the solution. You need a clear view of the decision ahead.

01

Start with your objective.

Describe what you are trying to achieve and what is getting in the way. Bring the context, not a product selection.

02

Examine the relevant options.

Discuss your situation, timing and constraints. Ask about eligibility, investment terms or business requirements, depending on your goal.

03

Decide what deserves a closer look.

Review the information and next steps. An introduction is the beginning of an evaluation, not a commitment to invest, borrow or engage.

05 / Before you begin

Questions worth asking.

Do you need to know which offering you need?

No. Start with your objective. Use the relevant contact conversation to clarify which team or offering deserves further consideration.

Can you work with your existing advisers?

Sagard Wealth describes working alongside family offices and existing solution providers. Discuss the responsibilities of each adviser and what coordination would involve. Explore the service model.

Are all investment products available to you?

No. Availability depends on the product, jurisdiction and investor eligibility. The Canadian private-investor funds shown here have specific conditions and are not presented as globally available products. Review the product routes.

Can you withdraw whenever you need your money?

Do not assume so. Private-market products can have substantial liquidity restrictions. The Sagard Private Credit Fund, for example, describes notice requirements, possible early-redemption fees and potential suspension of redemptions. Read the fund information.

Where can you review the costs?

Review the current documents for the particular product or proposed engagement. Ask about all applicable fees and expenses, financing charges and exit conditions. Some investment structures involve expenses at more than one fund level. See the Private Equity Strategies Fund disclosures.

Do the client stories predict your outcome?

No. Each story concerns a particular relationship or transaction. Partner statements may describe expectations rather than realized results. The original announcement and relationship context are linked beside each excerpt.

How is your enquiry handled on this page?

Preparing an enquiry does not submit it. You can review and copy the prepared message, then continue through Sagard’s official contact page to share it.

06 / Your next conversation

Start with the decision in front of you.

You need to establish whether the relevant Sagard team, offering or relationship fits what you are trying to do.
