Overview
SPDG (Société anonyme de Participation et de Gestion, Brussels company no. 0420.201.921) is the holding company of the Périer-D’Ieteren family, with offices in Brussels and Paris. It reports about €3.5 billion in net assets, of which roughly €2 billion is earmarked for direct equity investments and the rest for financial assets and liquidity. After divesting its automotive services and logistics holdings in the D’Ieteren Group, it is redeploying capital into majority stakes in European companies linked to sustainable development. Alongside this core activity it runs SPDG Growth (post-venture), SPDG Conviction (listed positions), SPDG Heritage (building renovation) and SPDG Impact (climate science and education projects).
Investment thesis
Majority stakes in European companies with strong teams that can become global champions in growing, consolidating markets, focused on energy transition, circular economy, sustainable mobility and infrastructure; no fixed exit horizon.
