What We Do?
M&A and Investment Advisory
We are guided by our conviction that enterprises need to work with counterparties across markets to fully realize their true potential.
Our core team is comprised of leading international professionals with multi-jurisdictional work experience, world-class skill sets, and actionable global network.
Our job is to help define the equity or the synergy story for management, secure the right counterparties, and execute transformative deals that deliver a lasting impact.
While we cover many industries, we have developed a particularly strong reputation, network and experience in e-commerce, retail and brands; cosmetics, healthcare and well-being solutions; media and entertainment; education, play and training; and technology and components.
Private Equity and Principal Investments
What makes us distinctive is that, along with our core advisory practice, we are able to bring our unique ability to take principal positions with companies with which we find most promising for growth and success.
Our usual approach is to invest prior to investments from or alongside strategic investors with which we have ongoing relationships, ensuring significant value-add immediately after our investment. We may also consider investing in the most promising companies with which we are providing advisory support, if and when we are invited to do so. We also invest in companies that are planning to do an IPO within 18 to 24 months of our investment.
