Asset/Wealth Management Services Alternative Investments & capital advisory services Venture Capital Investments Mergers & Acquisitions
Alternative Investments- The Alternative Investment Group offers high net worth and institutional investors the opportunity to participate in a wide range of non-traditional investment strategies. We believe that non-traditional strategies are an important part of a sophisticated investor's portfolio. Utilized properly, alternative investments can provide diversification and may help decrease overall investment risk. We strive to be the leader in offering innovative financial solutions, and we believe that investors who receive continuing guidance and services from professional advisers are best equipped to participate in today's complex financial markets. Our goal is to lower the barriers to alternative strategies by making them easier to understand and to include in investment disciplines when appropriate for suitable investors. Capital Advisory- For our Corporate Clients that are publicly traded, we advise them on their strategic options for growth, help them internationalize their businesses, work within their organizations to stimulate innovation and provide to them access to capital. Raise additional capital through a private institutional placement of equity or fixed income-price convertible securities. We work with corporate clients to present CEOs and their companies to the institutional investors that matter in Europe. We schedule, plan and implement "roadshow" group meetings and one-on-one presentations with analysts and portfolio managers employed by leading investment managers, private banks, insurance companies and pension funds in the following financial centers of US and Europe: New York, London, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels, Milan, Zurich, Geneva, Lugano, Monaco. At last we have listing capabilities on major exchanges in London, Frankfurt and US (small cap NASDAQ, NASDAQ).
Asset /Wealth Management- At SA Investments, we have a distinctive investment philosophy and integrated risk management practice implemented by people with deep experience and strong track records in alternative asset investing. Our rigorous investment process to select, constructs, and monitor investment portfolios is designed to maximize risk-adjusted performance for our investing partners.
Venture Capital- Equity Capital can be an excellent source of funds for a business to support internal growth, complete an acquisition, recapitalize, buy-out of ownership interest and fund research and development. We work closely with Venture Capitalist, Equity Funds and Buy-Out Funds to maintain a meaningful relationship with the Funds' partners to access them in presenting a viable capital transaction.
Mergers and Acquisitions- The firm of SA Investments has knowledge and experience to manage a unique corporate sale or acquisition. Our primary objective is to obtain the maximum value in the completion of a transaction. You as our client control the process; we cannot commit your company to any sale or acquisition. We act as financial advisor to our client and execute the process with their authority. Our group also provides consulting in turnaround challenged business situations.
Investment Philosophy SA & Investment Group believes fundamentally in investing in well-managed, visionary and competitively advantaged private companies as a means of creating value and delivering superior risk-adjusted returns to our limited partners. Our goal is to help the management teams and entrepreneurs who develop such companies by leveraging our resources and expertise, augmenting the creation of real value and outstanding products. We view our venture investments as the first step in a long-term relationship and provide ongoing assistance and counsel to our portfolio company partners through their entire life cycle, whether as a private or public company. To accomplish this goal, our firm has developed an investment philosophy centered on developing companies into leaders in their markets. We believe that only through disciplined long-term investing that remains uncolored by short-term trends and stays true to informed investment theses can venture investing help build companies that stand the test of time. As a result, our professionals prefers to examine underlying economic forces and long-term impacts of technologic change rather than invest in pursuit of technological fads and the robustness of the public markets in a particular sector. Accordingly, our investment strategy relies on an analytical method of determining investment theses that directs our focus toward specific sectors. Even within seemingly narrow specific industry segments, a diverse array of business models and themes can generate a substantial number of seemingly high-quality investment opportunities. In the current environment marked by a remarkably diversity of opportunities, discipline and focus become crucial to consistently invest in successful companies. Equally important, however, is a commitment to adapt investment theses to changes in the business landscape. The SA Investment group approach relies on a team that values not only a rigorous analytical filter for investment domains but also the creative energy and drive needed to develop new focus spheres and remain successful. We believe that over time this method of detailed assessment of the infrastructure and consequences of change generates progressively more refined investment theses, and thereby enables Wasserstein Ventures to both more effectively select quality portfolio companies and better help those companies grow. We believe that our experience and knowledge, because they are tempered by a strategic analytic framework, are intrinsically more valuable to our portfolio than broader but less well-understood experiences. Our constant interaction in the technological and business communities informs our company about how portfolio companies should direct their energies to be successful.
Relationship Network We believe that in today's fast-paced and changing economy, the right relationship can be the key to truly exceptional success. It is a core belief of SA Investment that entrepreneurs and management teams require potential investors to bring more than simply capital to a transaction, and our firm provides seasoned resources that work with a global base of partners and assist our portfolio companies. Accordingly, we are uniquely positioned to offer our portfolio companies access to an array of exceptional business partners beyond the typical technology companies many firms have relationships with. Our experience of working with world leaders in various industries globally, enables our firm to help our portfolio develop highly attractive partnerships with often unconventional partners—the kind of valuable partnerships that lead to explosive value creation. We believe that a critical lesson emerging from the ongoing transformation of the business world is that such relationships with large, established partners hold rising importance for venture stage companies that are subject to increasingly rapid development cycles. The professionals of SA & Investment Group dedicate their expertise to working with our portfolio management affiliates to build such strategic relationships. Finally, our investment approach relies heavily on our global relationship networks to drive strategic vision for our portfolio companies and increase their value.
