We understand the dynamics and opportunities of the Turkish business environment better than any other private equity firm. Our experience allows us to move quickly and decisively to create value.


Our Approach
 

  • We seek to develop the company into the undisputed Turkish market leader and simultaneously target to be a prominent regional player.

  • We strengthen the Board of Directors with world class senior executives from the particular industry to benefit from their global experience and perspective. (see article)

  • We bring growth financing, international access, capital and ideas, enabling you to grow faster: We have raised over USD1.8 billion in long term debt and subordinated loans for our portfolio companies.
  • We work actively with the managements of portfolio companies to seize new opportunities in their respective industries within and beyond Turkey.

Shareholders
 

  • We can acquire a majority or minority stake in companies to create a more active and supportive shareholder base.

  • Our recent acquisition of majority stakes in Mavi, Migros, Roma Plastik and Provus are examples for such transformational investments.

  • We also buy 100% of companies in "buy-out" situations. Migros is the largest private equity acquisition in Turkey to date. UNO Bakery, our first investment is a "spin-off" from Dogus Holding and an example for this type of transaction.

Professional Managers

  • We are ready to finance professional managers who plan to acquire their companies from the existing shareholders in a "Management Buy-Out" as well as ...

  • ... managers who would like to co-invest with us to acquire a company from third party owners in a "Management Buy-In".
