Frequently asked questions
What investment structures does Sputnik Group typically use?
Sputnik primarily executes control-oriented equity investments, taking significant or majority stakes in portfolio companies. The firm engages in buyouts, growth equity injections, and recapitalizations, often stepping into distressed situations that require operational turnaround. This hands-on, board-level involvement distinguishes it from minority-position funds that invest passively alongside existing owners in the region.
How does Sputnik Group source deals in the Russian market?
The firm's deal flow historically derives from Boris Jordan's deep network across Russian industry, government, and finance — relationships built over three decades of operating in Moscow. Sputnik sources proprietary opportunities through direct corporate relationships, privatization processes, and distressed asset sales rather than competitive auctions. This embedded local access is difficult for global funds to replicate without an equivalent multi-decade presence.
