We support private capital funds in their fundraising efforts and help investors by scouting for direct investment opportunities.

At both sides of the spectrum, large institutional investors as well as smaller professional investors such as family offices continue to increase their allocation to private capital and in particular direct transactions, whether acting as an active investor or passive sponsor. We support these investors as follows.

 

Investment Fund Introductions

Fundraising remains crowded and competitive. We focus on deeper relationships with a select group of investors and targeted institutions often in "hard-to-access" corners of the market. Our relationships are second to none:

  • We have access to both pre-eminent institutional investors as well as a universe of “below-the-radar” sponsors such as family offices, small and medium sized (private) banks which can play a crucial role in building fund commitments

  •  We speak to our relationships continuously and have a clear understanding of their requirements. We know the sweet spot of each investor in terms of focus, portfolio composition, timing and company dynamics

  • We deal with decision makers and these are strong and typically personal relationships. In most cases we have known and worked with our contacts for many years and in the process developed a basis of trust

Investment Target Scouting

Professional investors are increasingly focusing on direct private capital deals. Often these investors like a higher level of involvement in the opportunity selection and investment management decisions, need a tailored exposure to a specific situation or market segment. We help principle investors find attractive direct investment opportunities as follows.

  • Through (local) network we get early access to new opportunities. Rooting out high-quality companies operating in stealth is no easy task, we find them in person through our relationships and network

  • We have a structured approach to market scanning

  • Our insights provide a fresh perspective and a different angle on the next big thing supporting investors to anticipate and be ahead of the curve
