What We Do

Private Equity is a cornerstone asset class we have worked with since our inception. Our focus on Private Equity has enabled us to develop key outsourcing solutions to a wide range of clients that support the management of their funds and special purpose vehicles. Private equity is one of the most rewarding asset classes. EquityExchange Ltd invests with the top tier global and private equity fund managers in the MENA region, Europe, North/South America and Asia with established track records; largely in growth equity, mezz finance, LBO or distressed buy-out strategies. This is depending on guidance from the Investment Committee and allocation opportunities within the portfolio.

Private equity investments cover most industries/sectors and the rationale for investing in this asset class is driven by the desire to improve the risk/reward composition of the portfolio by generating a higher absolute return along with portfolio diversification. We have developed a robust performance review and monitoring mechanism. Our Investment Committee continues to be mindful of ensuring that the mix of private equity investments, vintage years and underlying diversification works to the company's advantage.

Private equity is a critical source of financing for companies in emerging market economies, making possible positive development outcomes while simultaneously providing investors with the opportunity to achieve superior financial returns. The term private equity encompasses growth capital, venture capital, leveraged buyouts and mezzanine investments.

Our private equity funds greatly improve access to the funding that innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) require to grow their businesses, leading to positive impacts such as employment, tax payments and increased service availability. Given the core facets of the PE model – active ownership, often of minority stakes, in private businesses seeking not only capital but also enhanced governance or more professionalized management, over a period of several years – private equity investors seek clarity and consistency around securities law and minority investor protections, as well as fair and equivalent treatment for all providers of capital regardless of mode of investment or country of origin.

Over the years, our professional belief in ethics and quality has evolved into a set of corporate standards and practices which we use as our benchmark for excellence. This attitude of providing the highest level of quality in all of our endeavors has paid-off at every step of the way.
