Strategic Growth Our background as investors as well as advisors means we are comfortable taking on longer term mandates for promising growth companies that may need time to become fully “investor ready”. We can open our network of contacts, provide strategic direction and prepare a company to attract quality private debt and or equity investors keen to finance its expansion. Restructuring We help guide clients through periods of financial stress and distress. We combine discretion with an aggressive focus on righting the business including assistance negotiating with creditors and securing investment from current and or new sources of capital as part of a broader restructuring plan. Principal Investments We source, negotiate, and structure private investments. Our affiliates and associated families invest together with entrepreneurs, management teams or other investors whom we know well. Investee companies and co investors are often people with whom we have worked over many years or even whose families we have known for generations. Investment interests are wide ranging and defy easy characterisation. They include early stage, high growth opportunities, special situations, large cap platform “buy and build” and leveraged buyouts. Investments may be in equity, debt or other structured instruments. The common elements are proven and reliable management teams, the ability for us to provide value above and beyond invested capital, either through expertise or our extensive network of contacts, and appropriately priced risk-reward. Recent sectors of investment include consumer finance, cosmetics, medical devices, mobile telecom services, payments, Internet, pharmaceutical, consumer beverages, healthcare and real estate.
