We adopt an investment approach that is driven by clear investment themes with a sector and country focus to capitalize on the regional private equity opportunity. These investment themes revolve around:
- The region’s competitive advantages
- The growing regional consumer demand
- The need for infrastructure development
We focus on proven business models and management teams with strong track records, while fully incentivizing them to act as partners and supporting them in creating value through:
- Strategic support through a regular dialogue with management
- Support on capital structure optimization and cash flow management
- Risk management and controls of currency and commodity prices volatility
- Increased focus on quantitative tools to inform management decision making
- Organizational alignment and incentivization
- Operational improvements and business process re-engineering
- Opportunities to increase scale through bolt-on acquisitions
We fully leverage the EFG Hermes’ broad regional network for deal origination and flawless execution
We primarily engage in “governance transactions” where we effectively control the key decisions in the company
We tailor our investment structure to each type of investment: growth capital, transition capital, financial restructuring capital and PIPE / take private transactions
We have a clear view on path to exit at the time of investment
