SPC further expands SIG’s global private equity efforts which includes Susquehanna Growth Equity (SGE) and Susquehanna Asia Investments, LLLP.
Leo Helmers has been appointed as a Managing Director and group head of SPC and will be building a team to a work with him during the course of 2017.

“I am pleased to be joining SIG to launch SPC, which will be focused on market leading companies with EBITDA between $3 and $30 million. SIG represents patient, flexible capital with no set time horizon unlike conventional private equity funds. Our ability to tailor our investments to meet the strategic objectives of middle market companies is a very compelling and attractive proposition.”
