AMCHOR Investment Strategies SGIIC is a specialized investment banking firm founded in 2008 that focuses on managing and representing investment strategies across both liquid and private markets in Europe.
Based in Madrid, the firm operates as a bridge connecting sophisticated investors with proven alternative asset managers through carefully structured investment vehicles.
The company's approach centers on optimizing the relationship between investment strategy, manager selection, and vehicle structuring to generate superior long-term outcomes.
AMCHOR collaborates with global specialists who have demonstrated track records in generating value across alternative asset classes, ensuring that each investment solution is tailored to the specific needs and risk profiles of their investor base.
With approximately 26 employees operating across offices in Spain, Portugal, and Italy, AMCHOR has established itself as a significant player among leading placement agents in the European alternative investments market.
The firm's culture emphasizes a partnership approach, promoting internal development through individual responsibility and horizontal organizational structures where diverse experiences contribute to collective success.
AMCHOR's philosophy revolves around aligning the incentives of their team with those of investors, fund managers, shareholders, and broader society over the long term.
This alignment-focused approach has enabled the firm to build enduring relationships across the European investment ecosystem.
AMCHOR specializes in diversified strategies across private markets, covering four primary asset classes:
Private Equity Buyouts: The firm has launched multiple buyout-focused funds including the MCH Global Buyout Patrimonios series (funds I through VI) and AMCHOR Global Buyout Patrimonios VII.
These programs provide Spanish and European investors access to mid-market buyout opportunities across Europe.
Venture Capital: Through their Late Stage & Early Growth programs, AMCHOR connects investors with venture capital opportunities focused on more mature technology and growth companies beyond the seed stage.
Private Debt and Real Assets: The firm offers multi-strategy programs including AMCHOR Global Alternative Patrimonios, which provides diversified exposure across private credit, infrastructure, and real estate strategies.
Green Transition Strategies: Recognizing the importance of sustainable investing, AMCHOR has launched Green Transition Strategies I and II, SCR funds focused on energy transition and environmental sustainability investments.
Evergreen Programs: The firm offers continuously open investment vehicles that allow investors ongoing access to private markets without traditional closed-end fund structures.
AMCHOR's distribution and capital raising services focus on finding the right investor for each talented manager, ensuring proper alignment of interests and investment horizons.
The firm develops bespoke investment solutions adapted to the regulatory requirements and return expectations of institutional investors, family offices, and qualified private investors across Europe.
AMCHOR operates through three European offices to serve investors and fund managers across the continent:
Spain (Headquarters): C/ VelĂĄzquez 166, 28002 Madrid, Spain | +34 91 700 47 77
Portugal: Rua Castilho, nÂș 39, 8Âș, Sala A2, 1250-068 Lisboa, Portugal | +351 213 850 648
Italy: Via Borgonuovo, 16, 20121 Milan, Italy | +34 917 004 777
This multi-country presence enables AMCHOR to maintain close relationships with investors and fund managers across Southern Europe while providing local market expertise and regulatory knowledge in each jurisdiction.
The firm's European footprint positions it to identify investment opportunities and facilitate capital flows across major private equity and alternative investment markets.
AMCHOR's specialization lies in its unique approach to balancing three critical elements: investment strategy selection, manager evaluation, and vehicle structuring.
The firm distinguishes itself by focusing on finding the right investor for each talented manager rather than simply distributing products broadly.
The firm specializes in making alternative investments accessible to European investors, particularly in Spain, Portugal, and Italy, where private market access has historically been more limited compared to other European markets.
AMCHOR's SCR (Sociedad de Capital Riesgo) fund structures are specifically designed to comply with Spanish and European regulations while providing tax-efficient access to private equity, venture capital, and alternative credit strategies.
AMCHOR emphasizes working with global specialists who have proven track records in their respective strategies, conducting thorough due diligence on both investment approach and organizational capabilities.
The firm's multi-strategy approach allows investors to diversify across private markets, from traditional buyouts to emerging areas like green transition investments.
The firm's long-term orientation aligns with the illiquid nature of private markets, focusing on building enduring relationships and generating sustainable value rather than short-term performance metrics.
