AGI is a generalist fund seeking investment opportunities in companies with established management teams and a proven track record of profitability and cash flow generation. AGI operates with a primary focus on the Iberian Peninsula, yet investment opportunities in other regions are also considered.
In particular, AGI wants to identify companies with sustainable competitive advantages, leadership positions in their chosen markets, proven technologies, innovative products and limited needs for further re-financing.
AGI is able to participate in various types of transactions including:
Management Buy-Out (MBO):
Supplement to capital, AGI intends to bring strategic and operating advisory to the table, in order to work closely with the management teams. AGI is equally open to discuss options with business owners, who wish to sell a stake in their business while maintaining control and involvement in the day-to-day operations.
International companies looking to divest non-strategic assets:
AGI has the required resources to quickly explore and assess investment options for local subsidiaries of international companies which, for strategic reasons, are no longer considered as core.
Capital increases:
AGI will support ambitious companies in raising capital with a view to finance expansion projects. In these situations, AGI will often require a significant minority position.
Acquisition financing:
AGI will support companies in identifying and acquiring targets, which are seen either as a useful addition to a product line or as means for significant synergies.
Act as consolidator:
AGI can support companies navigate through the complexities involved in acquiring direct competitors in the context of industry consolidation.
Amorim has often partnered with co-investors and investment groups during its long and successful investment path. In that relation, AGI intends to maintain this approach and may welcome co-investment opportunities with other private equity funds and/or strategic partners.
