DIRECT PRIVATE EQUITY
GROWTH PRIVATE EQUITY
The Growth Equity team within the Direct Private Equities Group focuses primarily on technology driven companies and investments in the growth stage of their development. Our business is to help entrepreneurs and private corporations scale their growth through strategic implementation of capital and informed execution.
Our Guiding Principles
We target individual investments in the $50-200+ million range in key companies with a management team and track record that coincides with the metric developed by our Research Institute. The metric identifies key opportunities and areas of development that allow us to leverage the existing assets and market potential of the firm and be a primary partner in developing new market leaders.
CORPORATE PRIVATE EQUITY
Our Corporate Private Equity team’s specialized expertise is enhanced by our integrated information platform and leverages our localized sales, advisory and analyst employee network’s specialized knowledge. We serve clients across various areas of Asia, Eastern Europe and the Americas and are currently targeting investments ranging in size from $50-500 Million.
Our Guiding Principles
Across a wide range of industries we facilitate growth investments, restructuring opportunities, recapitalizations, expansion/takeover strategies in distressed companies or sectors as well as leveraged buy-out strategies. The Research Institute’s corporate measuring metric is our primary tool for identifying companies that match with our overall investment strategy.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The Bear Stearns Infrastructure team focuses primarily on major infrastructure projects in the $50-200 million range per investment with a fully global mandate. In keeping with our vision statement of making capital work for the benefit of all we analyze each project with full investigation into both the environmental and humanitarian impact of the project against our own established set of criteria developed by our Institute. We invest primarily in energy, utilities, and transportation related infrastructure.
Our Guiding Principles
Infrastructure projects that meet our criteria for environmental and humanitarian impact need to be permanent installations that provide an essential service. Growth and return are foremost in every project with essentials like macroeconomic indicators showing a long term increase in revenue stream and strong market share positions as essential elements.
REAL ESTATE EQUITY
The Bear Stearns Real Estate Equity team invests globally in various real estate related equity investments ranging from $50-500 million per project. Along with direct real estate ventures we invest in loan portfolios, debt recapitalizations and real estate companies across many different sectors. These projects are primarily in the corporate, retail and hospitality sectors.
Our Guiding Principles
We apply our environmental and humanitarian mandate to every project we invest in. Along with markets in the North America and Europe we also focus on key areas in developing nations with emerging economies that show the necessary indicators of long term capital appreciation and political stability.
