Investment bank Renaissance Capital said it formed a unit for “opportunistic” investments, such as in companies riven by shareholder conflict.
Renaissance Investments plans to make two or three purchases of $30 million to $70 million this year, Yegor Sirota, the fund’s director, said by phone Monday. The company plans to hold stakes for six months to a year. Sirota said he plans to hire four or five other bankers for Renaissance Investments this year. Previously, Sirota ran Alfa-Eco/A1 Investments for eight years.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
