Swiss Medical Group SA
Swiss Medical Group SA was founded in 1995 by Roque Sanguinetti, a Argentine physician and entrepreneur, growing from a single clinic into a network of hospitals, health insurance plans, and a medical school. The firm's family office manages the wealth generated by this healthcare conglomerate, with operations based in Buenos Aires. The office allocates capital across a blend of asset classes: direct healthcare service investments, insurance underwriting, real estate development (primarily medical office buildings and residential complexes in Argentina), and private credit instruments targeting small-to-medium enterprises in the region. Portfolio companies include the Swiss Medical hospital chain (over 20 facilities as of 2024), OMINT health insurance, and the Instituto Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud (university of health sciences). Geographic focus is heavily weighted toward Argentina, with selective exposure to Chile and Uruguay (per public record, 2024). The office is led by Alejandra Sanguinetti (President and Roque's daughter), overseeing an estimated AUM in the range of USD 500 million to USD 1 billion (Altss estimate). The firm does not disclose total deployments or team size publicly. In 2024, the Sanguinetti family launched a philanthropic foundation focused on public health education (per firm communications). The office operates with a lean internal team, relying on external asset managers and legal advisors for deal sourcing. The Sanguinetti family office's structure is distinct among Argentine family offices due to its deep integration with the operating business: investment decisions are made in parallel with the healthcare group's strategic expansion, blending commercial and portfolio capital. Succession is underway — Roque Sanguinetti has gradually transferred leadership to his daughter, while maintaining a board-level advisory role.
