Pursuing Opportunistic Deal Types
VEK focuses on acquisitions, recapitalizations and growth financings of established businesses in a variety of industries.
These types of transactions may arise as a result of opportunities for: (i) consolidation in fragmented industries; (ii) divestitures by larger companies of non core assets; (iii) acquisitions of family owned businesses in need of growth capital or a highly skilled management team; and (iv) restructuring of fundamentally sound but poorly managed companies or the recapitalization of under capitalized companies.VEK believes that these situations may generate opportunities to make investments at attractive entry level valuations. We value highly quality management teams that have identified and captured a strong market niche.
Focusing on Varied Sectors
VEK believes that it is important to be flexible so that it can capitalize on opportunities as they arise. At the same time, its rigorous industry analyses and adherence to its philosophy of focusing on businesses in which VEK can improve operating performance reduces the risk to its investors.
Despite its broad sector focus, VEK will follow a very disciplined investment approach, initially abiding by the investment guidelines set out below. VEK’s board of directors has approved these investment guidelines and any changes to them must be approved by a special majority of 80% of its board of directors.
Reputation and Credibility
VEK has been built to be the premier brand for private equity firms in Ukraine. We believe that VEK is synonymous with integrity, entrepreneurship, meritocracy and professionalism.
These qualities help VEK to attract and retain top talent, source transactions, and successfully complete deals and find co-investors for larger deals.
By investing with VEK, you are investing directly with the project’s developer, secure in the knowledge that a mutually beneficial relationship exists. Once we identify what we believe to be the potential for excellence, we deliver these opportunities to our clients/partners where they can invest with us at the same time and level.
Implementing Management Philosophy in Portfolio Companies
VEK will maintain and replicate throughout its portfolio companies the successful management philosophy that VEK Capital Partners has been refining since 1994. This philosophy, based on the principles of strict cost control, lean organizational structures, talent development, meritocracy, and business ethics, is a powerful framework that will help VEK to maximize the operating performance of each acquired asset, and reduce risks.
