Frequently asked questions
How does ProA Capital source proprietary deal flow?
The firm explicitly prioritizes proprietary origination over competitive auctions. Its strategy targets family-run Spanish companies, often engaging directly with owners or management teams before any formal sale process begins. This relationship-driven approach relies on two decades of local presence and the firm's reputation for partnering with management rather than replacing it.
Does ProA Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
All disclosed activity points to direct deal-making. The firm describes leading MBO and build-up investments as principal, deploying up to €100 million per transaction from its own balance sheet alongside co-investors. No fund-of-funds or LP commitments to external managers are mentioned.
What is ProA Capital's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
ProA Capital actively uses co-investors to scale beyond its per-deal cap of €100 million. The firm notes it has additional capacity from co-investors for larger transactions. Sit does not, however, advertise itself as a co-investment partner for other GPs' deals — its model centers on leading and controlling transactions.
