In May 2021, Sberbank Capital acquired the June and Siberian Gorodok shopping and entertainment centers from Region Finance and AMC Pharma, which are part of the Regions group.

2012

In early 2012, RBC daily reported that Sberbank Capital decided to sell one of the largest construction companies in Moscow - GVSU Center (97.029% of Center belongs to Proffinance CJSC, owned by Sberbank Capital), which in 2009 was taken for debts from Coalco Vasily Anisimov. The asset was valued at 7.8 billion rubles. In February 2012, the new owner of the Center will be Mikhail Cherkasov's Development Management Company.

Two rather scandalous cases are also connected with the activities of Sberbank Capital: the collapse of the multidisciplinary group of IAIR Viktor Makushkin and the case of Pavlovskgranit.

In January 2008, IAIR received a loan from Sberbank in the amount of about 2 billion rubles. The money was intended for the reconstruction of the Sulinsky Metallurgical Plant of Staks CJSC in the Rostov Region and the reinforcement plant of Arzil OJSC in the city of Georgievsk, Stavropol Territory. Mortgage agreements, as well as the pledge of equipment and shares of all enterprises included in the MAIR group, became collateral for the loan. Soon after the creation of Sberbank Capital, the enterprises of the MAIR group unexpectedly faced serious pressure from law enforcement agencies. In particular, a criminal case was initiated against the director of Staks CJSC and Arzil OJSC Sergei Musatov under Part 2 of Art. 171 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Illegal Entrepreneurship"). As a result, Musatov disappeared abroad, and enterprises could not actually work normally, which, in turn, created problems with debt servicing to Sberbank for MAIR. Trying to rectify the situation, the owner of the MAIR initiated the bankruptcy of enterprises, but on August 10, 2009, a criminal case was opened against Makushkin himself: the bank told law enforcement agencies that MAIR took out a loan, allegedly initially not going to return it. Makushkin fled abroad.

And in 2011, Sberbank Capital initiated the process of rejecting 51% of the Pavlovskgranit crushed stone production enterprise owned by Sergei Poymanov. For the needs of OJSC Pavlovskgranit, a loan in the amount of 5.1 billion rubles was raised from Sberbank, but soon representatives of Sberbank Capital said that the loan was not returned, but allegedly there was an increase in the authorized capital of the shareholder of Pavlovskgranit LLC Vitera. Sberbank Capital demanded 51% of the enterprise as payment of debt. Sergei Poymanov, however, claimed that until March 2010 the company regularly paid money on the loan, but then, as a consequence of the crisis, he had financial difficulties, and the management of Pavlovskgranit turned to Sberbank with a proposal to restructure the debt, offering 30% of the company's shares as collateral. However, Sberbank refused this offer, starting to demand a controlling stake in the plant. In
November 2011, the Moscow Arbitration Court, at the request of Sberbank Capital LLC, introduced surveillance against Pavlovskgranit-Invest CJSC and Vitera LLC. Evgeny Shiryaev has been appointed interim manager of the two companies. The applicant's claims in the amount of 3.495 billion rubles against each debtor were included in the third stage of the register of creditors.

The consideration of the bankruptcy case of Pavlovskgranit should take place on March 14, 2012.

Two investment companies in the Sberbank ecosystem "will be cramped," analysts say.
