About The SAVI Group

The Firm

This conviction was not adopted in response to ESG pressure, regulatory mandate, or institutional investor demand. It preceded all three by more than a decade. It is why The SAVI Capital Model was developed from the beginning. That is why its tenets are codified in legal governance documents rather than expressed as aspirations in a corporate values statement. The distance between a values statement and a governance document is the distance between intention and obligation. The SAVI Group operates on the obligation side of that distance.

The Firm

The SAVI Group is a private equity asset management firm that has deployed institutional capital across private equity, commercial real estate, healthcare, and social capital transactions since its founding in 2002.

Founded by Santiago Vitagliano to manage his family's real estate investments in the United States, the firm has evolved into a diverse institutional enterprise operating across Europe and the Americas. Its investment approach is governed in its entirety by The SAVI Capital Model, a proprietary framework that encodes equitable profit-sharing, transparent executive compensation, principled stewardship, and institutional social impact into every capital structure it deploys. The firm identifies off-market opportunities and structures capital through strategic partnerships with established operators, institutional developers, and management teams, relationships built across 22 years of cross-sector practice alongside established institutional operators and developers.

The SAVI Group serves a global network of Qualified Purchasers. It does not manage retail capital and does not offer general public investment vehicles. Its investor base includes institutional endowments, sovereign wealth vehicles, pension funds, family offices, and strategic co-investors whose capital and governance mandates align with the SAVI Capital Model's structural requirements and long-horizon orientation.

Qualified Purchaser Access

The SAVI Group does not manage retail capital.

Its investor base is composed exclusively of institutions and individuals whose capital, governance mandates, and investment philosophies align with the structure and long-horizon orientation of The SAVI Capital Model.

Institutional Endowments

University endowments, foundation endowments, and institutional endowment vehicles whose governance mandates require long-horizon deployment and verifiable ESG integration.

Sovereign Wealth Funds

Sovereign wealth vehicles, national investment authorities, and Ministry-level capital allocators whose mandates include long-horizon institutional capital and governance-disciplined structures.

Pension Funds

Public and private pension funds whose fiduciary obligations require verifiable governance alignment, long-horizon return durability, and documented ESG integration at the structural level.

Family Offices

Single and multi-family offices managing generational capital whose principals seek off-market access, relationship-based engagement, and governance-disciplined structures for long-horizon deployment.

Royal Family Offices

Royal family investment offices and high-net-worth dynastic capital vehicles whose governance standards and long-horizon orientation align with the SAVI Capital Model's structural requirements.

Strategic Co-Investors

Institutional co-investors and strategic capital partners in specific transactions, evaluated for governance compatibility and philosophical alignment before financial terms are discussed.

Who the firm does not serve

The SAVI Group does not accept retail investor capital. It does not operate general public investment vehicles. It does not engage with investors whose primary evaluation criterion is near-term return maximization without consideration of governance quality and human capital architecture. If The SAVI Capital Model's structure is not the right fit for a prospective investor's capital or mandate, the firm will say so at the beginning of the conversation rather than at the end.

Founder

Santiago Vitagliano

Founder, Chairman, CEO
and Chief Integrity Officer

Santiago Vitagliano founded The SAVI Group on the premise that the most durable institutional value is created when capital and human capital are governed as equally important variables in the investment equation, which is why The SAVI Capital Model encodes that premise in fund documents rather than leaving it to the discretion of any individual leader.

His background spans early-stage venture financing, commercial real estate development, healthcare investment, infrastructure, aviation, and nonprofit development across Europe and the Americas. He executed high-profile real estate developments in the United States alongside established institutional operators and developers. He led the hospitality division at SABRE from the company's London office, overseeing global projects across multiple jurisdictions. He has served on the boards of numerous private companies across sectors and geographies, providing strategic guidance on growth, governance, and institutional discipline.

He holds degrees in Industrial Engineering from the Catholic University of Argentina and an MBA from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.

The title of Chief Integrity Officer, which he holds alongside his roles as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is not ceremonial. It reflects the governing position of ethical discipline within the firm's operating model: that integrity is not a department or a function but the architecture of every decision the institution makes.
