Mission Statement

SICA INVEST will focus on growing “small caps” companies from different businesses, including the medical sector, biotechnology, information technology, software, electronics, communication, distribution, finance, transport, industry, real estate, etc. SICA INVEST will seize specific opportunities which will occur in other growing businesses.

Moreover, SICA INVEST could invest part of its assets in other ventures or private equity funds which follow a similar investment policy as its own. Those funds will be selected on the basis of their history and their capacity to create new investment opportunities for SICA INVEST.

Concerning unlisted companies, SICA INVEST will focus on companies that are considering a stock market entry. When there is an opportunity to do so and if it considers it necessary, a representative of SICA INVEST will have a seat in the board of directors of said company.

SICA INVEST favors a “buy and hold” strategy. Nonetheless, SICA INVEST will, without affecting the general principle of favoring mid term investments, take advantages of market opportunities for the listed companies of its portfolio.

SICA INVEST will in principle only take minority participations in the companies in which it invests. Moreover, SICA INVEST will make sure to never have more than 15% of its assets invested in a same value and – in principle – not to hold more than 29,9% of the capital of a company admitted on a regulated market or on a non-regulated market. However, it cannot be excluded that the homogeneity of SICA INVEST’s patrimony will be altered if there is a high increase or decrease of the value of one of the assets held by SICA INVESTS.

Investing in SICA INVEST entails a certain number of risk factors. Risks related to SICA INVEST itself on the one hand and risks related to the rating of SICA INVEST on the other hand.

Risk related to SICA INVEST itself are mainly risks related to the businesses in which SICA INVEST will invest, risks related to insufficient liquidities and risks related to the composition of SICA INVEST’s portfolio.

Risks related to SICA INVEST’s rating are inter alia present due to the fact that SICA INVEST’s titles will not be admitted for negotiation on a regulated market and will therefore not benefit from corresponding warranties.
