Private Equity

Home » Our Business » Private Equity

Our private equity business focuses on growth capital and buy-outs of mature companies with proven business models and significant growth potential.

We also have the flexibility to take control positions in new platforms rolling out a proven business model or pursuing a ‘buy and build’ rollup strategy; deploy capital in ‘special situations’ such as bridge funding or ‘last mile’ equity, and; take strategic, minority positions in listed companies where we have a relationship with the controlling shareholders. Our hallmarks are our flexible and creative transaction structuring and our ability to add substantial strategic and operational value in cross-border situations and through our extensive networks.

-        We are currently investing out of Samena Special Situations Fund III L.P. (SSSF III) which had its Final Closing on 30 April 2019 with total commitments of US$188 million. Samena Special Situations Fund II L.P. (SSSF II) had its Final Closing on 30 June 2013 with total commitments of US$332 million. SSSF II is a successor fund to the Samena Special Situations Fund L.P., which had its Final Closing on 31 May 2009, is fully invested, and returned c. 75% of its primary capital to investors.

 

In conjunction with our Special Situations Funds, we also run an investment strategy to lead and invest in large scale, private equity opportunities in the SAMENA region. These are typically proprietary transactions in the range of US$100 million to US$2 billion in enterprise value. As a lead investor in these situations, we drive due diligence and transaction execution and arrange financing, both equity capital from our Funds, co-investors and third party institutions, as well as leverage from banks and bond markets.
