For all of Baring Vostok's funds, the principal investment focus is on controlling stakes in medium-sized enterprises with $30 million to $500 million in annual sales turnover. In certain cases, Baring Vostok will invest through a significant minority stake or invest in companies with less than $10 million in existing sales turnover if the potential upside is sufficiently material for the funds. Baring Vostok has a primary industry focus on oil and energy, branded consumer products, telecommunications, media, services, and technology. Baring Vostok has invested in a broad range of companies within these industries including formerly state-owned privatized companies, new entrepreneurial ventures and co-investments with major international or local strategic partners.
