Capital Strategy and Structuring
In structuring investment transactions, our focus is on ensuring alignment of objectives between the investor and the investee. By bringing together the right businesses with the right providers of capital, and by structuring the transaction carefully, we aim to build relationships that can endure both the good times and the bad. As market practitioners, this is something we feel strongly about.
A particular area of focus is the design and structuring of investment vehicles on behalf of clients. We create funds and other vehicles starting from the identification of the problem, and design a practical solution around that problem, whilst using our market knowledge and networks to ensure relevance to the investor audience.
