Samag Deutschland

What Samag Deutschland does

Samag Deutschland GmbH is an independent asset management firm founded in 2009 by Michael Saur and headquartered in Rechberghausen, Germany. The company specializes in alternative investment fund management for renewable energy and energy infrastructure assets, including solar (PV), wind, concentrated solar, geothermal, energy efficiency, and recycling projects. As an officially licensed Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM), SAMAG designs and manages regulated fund products and bespoke investment vehicles for institutional investors such as pension schemes, pension funds, Versorgungswerke, and family offices, with a buy-and-hold strategy targeting long-term stable cash flows from regulated or contractually secured income. The Luxembourg subsidiary SAMAG Europe S.à r.l., established in 2014 and regulated by the CSSF, serves as the cross-border distribution platform into the European institutional market.

The group operates offices in Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, and Chile, with an investment portfolio spanning six geographies: Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Spain, France, and Latin America. Over approximately a decade, SAMAG has built up over €1 billion of equity capital across its Luxembourg fund vehicles and offers tax-optimized investment structures compliant with European regulatory frameworks including Solvency II and the German Anlagenverordnung (AnIV). Revenue is generated through asset management fees charged on the managed fund products, with the go-to-market built on direct, consultative enterprise field sales and referral-based institutional relationship management rather than intermediary distribution channels.
