Hambro Perks, the international investment firm, announces that it has changed its name to Salica
Investments. The name “Salica” combines “Salix” the Latin word for ‘willow’ with “Karpos” the Greek
word for ‘fruit’. This new name emphasises the firm’s reliability and developing strength as well as its
organic growth potential.Salica Investments was initially founded as an investment firm focusing on the most promising UK
start-ups and has subsequently developed into a broader investment management firm, managing a
unique set of private market funds investing in equity and debt across complementary sectors, stages,
and geographies. Salica Investments embodies the growth trajectory of the company, fusing
traditional values with a contemporary investment approach.The new name will be applied across all current and future funds.
Andrew Wyke, Chief Executive, said:
“We are delighted to announce our new name. We believe our new branding accurately represents
what the firm has achieved so far, as well as our ambition for the future. This is another positive step
for the company.Our current funds are performing well and we have made significant distributions from several of our
funds in recent months. We recently held a final close on our first UK venture debt fund and a first
close on the fourth vintage of our Access Fund, targeting secondary opportunities. We plan to launch
a new vintage of our venture capital strategy later in the year along with new products in adjacent
markets.Our mission is to deliver consistently strong returns to our investment partners by helping our portfolio
companies to fulfil their potential and these new fund launches illustrate how we are achieving this.
This is all underpinned by the deep pool of talent we have at the firm and our supportive shareholder
and LP base.”
