PRIVATE EQUITY Nuestras Estrategias

Our Investment Strategies

Long track record in the Private Equity market, generating attractive returns throughout different economic cycles.

  • Global focus from the outset, investing in the US from the very first fund, balanced mainly between Europe and the US and investing in other geographies (Latam, Africa, and Asia) for some mandates;

  • Investments in three sub-strategies, providing differential value to our clients: (i) through the primary market in medium-sized funds and, selectively, in large funds with restricted access; (ii) through the secondary market in medium-sized or small transactions, where the market is less competitive and there is greater arbitrage of opportunities; and (iii) indirect coinvestments by consolidated managers;


  • Those funds managed and advised by Arcano have generated competitive returns in terms of multiple on invested capital and IRR, with attractive loss ratios.

PRIVATE EQUITY Estrategia Primarios

Primaries

Opportunity:

Arcano seeks to invest primarily in funds focused on completing buyout transactions in mid-sized companies in Europe and the US.

Focus:

Arcano started its Private Equity investment activities in 2006, through programs focused on primary investment. Since then, we have developed relationships with more than 65 private equity managers, and have invested in more than 90 different funds. We focus on mid-market funds managed by teams with proven capabilities to create value through an operational approach that prioritizes revenue growth and cost structure optimization. However, Arcano's primary investment programs have the flexibility to invest in funds focused on smaller and larger transactions, as well as growth/expansion capital or turnaround/special situations investments.

PRIVATE EQUITY Estrategia Secundarios

Secondaries

Opportunity

Arcano seeks to participate in complex and high value-added transactions and to invest in well-diversified portfolios of  companies.

Focus

Since 2011, Arcano has invested more than €900 million in the market and has launched four programs specifically dedicated to market investment. Thus, we have experienced the continuous transformation of the market, which today allows us to analyse and participate in complex transactions, such as fund restructurings or direct secondaries, which we complement by investing in portfolios of companies well-diversified by fundamentals, geographies, sectors, and vintages. 

Closed funds:

PRIVATE EQUITY Estrategia Coinversiones

Co-investments

Opportunity

Arcano seeks to invest through funds with direct exposure to individual companies, creating a more attractive risk/return profile and maintaining a high degree of diversification.

Focus

Arcano began its co-investment activities with globally recognized Private Equity managers in 2013. We focus on co-investing in profitable companies with leading business models in their market segments that exhibit attractive characteristics such as high growth and recurring revenues, wide margins, and/or strong cash generation. These co-investments often allow us to strengthen our investors' exposure to specific sectors, geographies, or business types.
