The firm’s Founder and CEO, Tomas Fiala, stated:
“In the middle of last year, we began considering new investments. This year, we plan to deploy around $100 million in fresh capital.”
According to Fiala, the majority of the investments will be funded through the company’s own capital and equity contributions from co-investors, while a smaller portion — “maybe up to a quarter” — will come from debt financing.
Between 2015 and 2021, Dragon Capital invested approximately $700 million, with around one-third funded by debt (roughly $250 million) — 80% of which has already been repaid. He noted that a significant share of capital during that period also came from private Western investors, both European and American.
Fiala emphasized that 2025 marks the first year during the war when Ukraine is showing improved macroeconomic visibility, making it a more conducive environment for investment.
Dragon Capital provides a full range of investment banking, brokerage, private equity, and asset management services to institutional, corporate, and private clients, and remains one of the country’s most active investment firms.
