About

The Baltic Capital Markets Acceleration Fund is the first initiative of its kind in the region. With a target size exceeding €50 million, the fund provides long-term financing and invests in Baltic companies with clear plans to go public, acting as a catalyst for accelerating the development of local capital markets. By helping companies prepare for the listing process, the fund seeks to unlock growth opportunities, increase market liquidity, and attract a broader investor base to the region. €38.8 million was invested in the fund by institutional investors ILTE and ALTUM.

Investment Principles

The fund’s strategy is based on clear and disciplined principles:

• Companies planning to enter public markets — the fund invests in SMEs and innovative mid-caps with clear plans to become publicly listed companies. Investments are directed into newly issued share capital or bond placements.

• Broad investment strategy — focusing on established and commercially viable companies with enterprise values of €5–100 million, which are expected to form the core of the portfolio.

• Baltic-first focus — the majority of capital will be allocated to Lithuanian and Latvian companies, with the remaining part available for investments in the broader CEE region.
Fund’s contribution — individual ticket sizes of €2–7 million, with the fund typically providing up to 50% of the total financing raised. The fund often acts as a lead or anchor investor, inviting others to join, but can also participate as a co-investor alongside trusted partners.

Important information

Before making an investment decision, it is advisable to not only think carefully about your investment objectives, but also the risks, fees and costs that the fund incurs. Investments can be both profitable and unprofitable – you can lose part or even all of the amount invested. Historical returns do not guarantee future results. The Fund’s investments in foreign markets are affected by currency fluctuations and changes in the political and economic environment. Funds that focus on a single country or sector, or funds that invest in smaller companies, may experience higher value fluctuations or face liquidity challenges. Investing in emerging markets, real estate, currencies, fixed income instruments or alternative investments carries additional risks. Due to the specifics of some funds, higher capital gains payouts are possible than in other investments. You will find more detailed information on risks in the Fund’s prospectus and rules.
