One of our two main functions is working as an advisor on the deals we do not directly finance. Although this work accounts for a significant portion of our business, our advisory role doesn’t end here.
Since the moment our direct investment is finalized, the management of the company we invest in has access to a designated investment manager from our side who is available to act as a strategic advisor to the management. Moreover, through this investment manager, the company’s management has an indirect access to our global network of professionals. The scope of our advice includes, but is not limited to, development of growth strategies, assessment of important market or regulatory changes and assistance with reorganizations or operational efficiency improvements.
Our investment philosophy is simple – taking advantage of overlooked opportunities mainly in the CEE/CIS region.
We at Kapital Group do not want to limit our possibilities by restricting our scope to a single industry and/or functional topic. We believe that as industries are being reshaped and new ones are being created, we are able to find an incredible value in overlooked companies. This takes a lot of research and market know-how but in the end it does deliver the returns.
After acquiring a company, we make the necessary changes within that particular company to enable it to grow and we then let the management to make it happen. Outside of our already mentioned advisory role, we do not actively manage the acquired companies.
