Improved Shareholder Alignment
We appreciate that private equity investors, whether GPs, corporations, financial institutions or individuals, face liquidity needs unrelated to a company’s opportunity. We recognize there are a plethora of reasons why it is appropriate for an investor to sell even in companies with outstanding future return potential. We invest in opportunities where we can offer liquidity to selected shareholders and then work with ongoing investors and management teams to execute long-term growth plans. By offering interim liquidity to shareholders, W Capital better aligns the longer-term shareholder base and empowers management to continue executing on its growth objectives. Once shareholders, we actively support our portfolio companies by providing access to our broad network of relationships, board involvement and expansion capital to finance growth and acquisitions.
• Direct secondary share purchases
• Partial sell-downs
• Tender offers
• Minority recapitalizations
• Rollover equity
• Primary / secondary offerings
• Portfolio purchases
W Capital has provided liquidity solutions to many of the world’s leading private equity firms. We understand that optimizing the outcome for an investment may fall outside the construct, timeframe or capital reserves of a fund. We recognize that capital to consolidate ownership behind a lead investor can provide the focused direction to create value. We prize access to market-leading businesses with headroom for growth that sponsors are reluctant to transition to the portfolio of a peer. We value partnership with control sponsors seeking to continue growing a well-performing company interested in selling down a minority position to capture a gain, reduce the time pressure for a full exit and bring on a minority partner with equity reserves for potential future expansion capital.
• Portfolio asset sales
• Partial sell downs
• Continuation funds
• Acquisition funds
