Emerging Markets Strategy:
Operating in the region for over a decade, SigmaBleyzer is one of the largest and most experienced equity investors in Eastern Europe. With the strength of the company’s local infrastructure, Western-style management and knowledge of local market conditions, SigmaBleyzer has created one of the largest private equity firms in the region.
As a manager of a family of private equity funds and vehicles currently investing in Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Kazakhstan, we utilize a hybrid investment approach developed specifically for emerging markets and focused on simultaneous value creation at the micro/enterprise level and at the macro level. Because of our unique approach and strong on-the-ground presence in a region where many of our clients could not have invested directly, we can bring one of the most attractive pipelines of investment opportunities found anywhere to our client base.
With offices in Kiev and Kharkiv, Ukraine; Sofia, Bucharest, Astana, Kazakhstan and a head office in Houston, Texas, SigmaBleyzer has the infrastructure in its countries of operation to successfully manage portfolio companies to help them reach their full potential. Our strength lies in the perfect mixture of Western expatriates and local professionals.
We have the experience, the skills and the people in the region to ensure the highest levels of integrity and professionalism in taking advantage of the many opportunities available in these markets.

Texas Strategy:
SigmaBleyzer has been headquartered in Houston, Texas since the firm’s inception in 1994. In fact, the firm’s founders have lived in Texas since 1978, when they left Ukraine as political refugees. Our strong Texas roots, and the opportunities we see as a result of the global economic crisis, have led us to the conclusion that the US today, and Texas in particular, is a market ideally suited to our approach to private equity buyouts.

Our strong Texas roots, and the opportunities we see as a result of the global economic crisis, have led us to the conclusion that the US today, and Texas in particular, is a market ideally suited to our approach to private equity buyouts.
Having honed our skills in some of the toughest, most volatile, and opaque economies in the world, we believe we are uniquely equipped to take advantage of the opportunities we see in Texas. Our experience in conducting unlevered buyouts – in markets where leverage is simply not available – is a skill set that sets us apart from many of the private equity financial sponsors currently operating in the US. In addition, our track record working with turnaround and distressed companies is highly relevant to the types of opportunities we see in the US mid-market, where we prefer to operate below the radar of the larger mega-buyout firms. Lastly, the pricing and deal multiples in the US mid-market are as cheap as we have seen them in many years, and are comparable, if not cheaper, than many of the assets we see in emerging economies.
Given all of the above, we believe now is an unprecedented time to be sourcing deal flow and investing in Texas.
