VISION
We want to increase opportunity and equality for ‘people’ living in emerging economies by accelerating capital flows to these economies
No primary, without a secondary market
Our goal is to create the secondary market platform for legacy investments in Emerging Markets. As no vibrant secondary market - where an investor can sell of its investment to obtain liquidity - exists in Emerging Markets, investors are shy to invest. No back door out means not going in through the front door!
mission

We take care of investors legacy assets in Emerging Markets like private equity direct or Fund stakes. Either in a structured secondary sale or via a management outsourcing partnership.
This accelerates investors reflow to reinvest into EM. While knowing that these legacy assets are in the safe hands with our experienced EM management team that actively will be on top of the assets and has the fund/ equity restructuring skills to take action when needed.
