Approach

While private equity investments can be rewarding, as evidenced by superior long-term returns relative to other asset classes, successful PE investing requires a unique skill set.  A properly executed PE deal is complex, time intensive, and requires rigorous due diligence, negotiation, and management.  Investors must negotiate their rights and remedies up-front, undertake an evaluation of the business model and financial plan, perform reference and background checks on management, review and test business assumptions, and consider contingency plans and exit strategies. Palmetto Capital is an experienced advisor with the expertise to guide the investor through every step of this process.

Why hire an advisor?

Don’t be “a penny wise and a pound foolish.” While private equity is becoming more mainstream, investors must consider several factors before investing:

• Do they have access to top investment opportunities and managers?
• Do they have the skill-set to properly evaluate and execute transactions?
• Do they want their PE approach to be pro-active to find the best opportunities or re-active and hope that the best opportunities happen to find them?
• Do they have the resources to manage a portfolio of PE investments?
• Are they being offered fair terms and conditions?
