An innovative and rigorous strategy

• the investment strategy implemented by OFI Private Equity Capital is based on five points :

1 - high quality companies, leaders in their sectors, very profitable, led by management teams that have proven themselves,

2 - companies valued at between 15 and 75 million euros, the most active market segment,

3 - companies that have already had financial shareholders in their capital (operation type: secondary LBO),

4 - financial arrangements structured according to the company's needs, by using shareholders equity and mezzanine debt,

5 - close collaboration with the management team, which is significantly invested in the company's capital over the long term.

• An offer suited to growth

The implemented finance plan is suited to the company's needs, on the basis of its development projects or the structure of its shareholding, through the use of shareholders equity, quasi-equity capital and mezzanine debt. Associated with a bank debt that corresponds with the company's profile, this flexible financing structure provides the company with the means for its growth strategy.

A large part of the strategy involves backing the portfolio's companies throughout their development. Whether opening foreign subsidiaries, carrying out acquisitions of all sizes or furthering the evolution of their strategy, the experience provided by well-established and involved investors is a true benefit to the directors of these companies. It is this additional added value that will help them to secure market shares, to develop, to become increasingly international, to improve their profitability... leading to an appreciable improvement of their value.

This initiative is implemented with a focus on the long term, while respecting the development rhythm of both the companies and their management teams. This commitment to respect the company's lifecycle and the commitment to work alongside its directors are two of the essential values of OFI Private Equity Capital.
