Investment Strategy
As experienced private equity
advisors, we emphasize a top down approach in selecting
desirable sectors for investment, using underlying macro
fundamentals to develop a model for category, type and orientation
of a Fund’s investments. Regardless of the sector, our experience
indicates that successful Indian companies meet certain fundamental
criteria, such as:
· Excellent management team using
best practices
· Recognized brand with
prospects for expansion
· Strong distribution network
· Value-added services / products
· Businesses with pricing power
· Sustainable growth and cash flows.
Funds primarily focus on mid-market transactions, aiming to provide
capital to organizations for expansion and financial restructuring.
Baring India
Private Equity Fund
II can make individual investments up to
$100 million with the backing it enjoys from renowned institutional
investor groups. The Fund seeks positions in investee companies from
significant minority stakes to control. It also seeks a Board
position and will often reserve the right to influence the
appointment of key managerial staff.
To achieve liquidity at the
appropriate time and at attractive terms, the Funds control the exit
decision or have well defined exit rights. There have been several cases
of successful public market listings within the region as well as highly
successful listings of Asian companies on Western stock exchanges such
as NASDAQ or the NYSE. Therefore, the Funds do not discount the
possibility of an IPO exit route and aim to take advantage of any window
of opportunity that opens up in various market cycles in order to
maximize returns.
