Investment thesis
Sage Capital is a private equity firm investing long-term capital in lower-middle market and small businesses across North America. It invests through the Sage Capital Investors Roundtable, a committed fund of current and retired executives who provide judgment alongside capital. The firm makes both control and minority investments, typically via equity and equity-like instruments, funding growth, acquisitions, and recapitalizations. It favors durable businesses that can last more than a decade and operates a fund with no termination date, adopting a business-owner mindset rather than that of an asset manager. It emphasizes collaborative, LP-friendly terms, charging no fees on uninvested capital.
