The Alluvia Private Equity approach, housed within Alluvia Capital, is focused on the areas of the market that are typically ignored or under-serviced, yet which present some of the best opportunities for wealth creation. Typically, Alluvia Capital finds value in investing in second-tier companies where its specialist skills can be applied. Alluvia will be actively involved in carefully selecting synergistic businesses, structuring, positioning, managing and consolidating these businesses in selected industries. One of the preferred exit strategy for such investments would be listing on an appropriate exchange.
Alluvia Capital acquires majority stakes in the underlying investments and manages these investments on an active and participative basis. Alluvia Capital may introduce strategic co-investment partners in selected investments. These co-investors or funders would earn a yield from the underlying success of the investments and would not pay any fees to Alluvia.
Alluvia Finance, which houses the Structured Product businesses and Credit JV’s, has the capacity to provide the full range of lending services including credit scoring, pricing, rating, management, administration, funding and collection. Our international and local banking partners allow Alluvia to securitise debt in the world’s capital markets. Alluvia Finance provides funding, infrastructure and intellectual capital on a wholesale level, while relying on distribution partners that have access to the retail market.
