The Sierra Model

Our buy-and-hold acquisition model is unlike traditional private equity or strategic acquirers.

When we acquire a business, we make a commitment to holding that business indefinitely. Where the private equity model is to acquire, optimize, and resell, SMG's model is designed to grow our portfolio companies in perpetuity. Post-acquisition, it's business as usual. We operate with a decentralized model, meaning our portfolio companies retain their brand, culture, and most importantly their people.

​

Our model is most attractive to shareholders who are not just looking for liquidity, but a good home for their business that will protect their legacy, customer relationships, and employees.
