Semi-institutional (e.g. family offices, foundations) and institutional (e.g. insurance and pension firms) investors are not only interested in private equity during the current low interest environment but also for reasons of diversification, low overall correlation with public markets and return optimization. <\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner gap=”5″ css=”.vc_custom_1474469794488{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]However, in particular semi-institutional clients often deliberate how to adequately generate exposure to private equity assets as part of their diversified multi asset strategy. The complexity of the asset class combined with at times insufficient internal proficiency and high external costs exacerbate the efficient access to private equity investments for many wealth owners. Moreover, the total asset base may limit the room for manoeuvre as the implicit allocation to private equity may not allow the sustainable development of adequate in-house resources.<\/p>\n

Hence, we offer our clients an outsourced process to implement their specific private equity strategy. We support our clients with an experienced senior team of private equity specialists.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Our clients benefit from a shared cost base as Arcana Capital advises a number of families and foundations. As such, we are able to pass on potential cost savings to our clients, in particular with respect to relatively standardized processes that benefit from economies of scale, such as manager selection, deal flow analysis and reporting solutions.<\/p>\n

At times, the amount of capital available for private equity investments may limit the access to attractive investment opportunities. By pooling our clients\u2019 investment funds, we are able to furnish access to direct investment opportunities with a more balanced risk-return profile (i.e. later stage investments) and facilitate investment into sought-after private equity funds.<\/p>\n

Many of our clients particularly appreciate the trusted exchange to other families, which we furnish upon request most discretely through our relationship network.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1477319344433{margin-top: 70px !important;margin-bottom: 35px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

As Arcana Capital we advise our clients with respect to the following principal investment strategies:<\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_tta_accordion shape=”square” spacing=”5″ c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”” collapsible_all=”true” no_fill=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Selection, execution and management of majority investments (lead investments)” tab_id=”1474469272033-8155138c-f1b7″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Besides indirect investments via funds, our clients also invest directly into companies. Many client families and foundations seek to retain indirect influence over the funds invested and appreciate the opportunity to engage in entrepreneurial activity.<\/p>\n

Direct investments are associated with significant due diligence and control costs. Given the substantial financial and human investment required, the resulting level of diversification of the investment portfolio may be relatively low, which is why thorough diligence, careful structuring and continuous monitoring of the direct investment portfolio are essential.<\/p>\n
