Private Equity
What is Private equity?
Private equity is a commonly known as a
equity investment in an asset in which the equity is not
freely tradeable on a public
stock market. More accurately, private equity refers to
the manner in which the funds have been raised, namely on
the private markets, as opposed to the public markets.
As the company offering the equity is not listed on an
exchange, investors owning such securities will normally
“exit” or sell out” by way of an initial public offering
(IPO) or alternately via a trade sale.
UK Private equity.
The UK Private Equity market has beaten all previous highs
according to information recently released by CMBOR. At
Sapphire Securities we are specialists in advising small to
medium size enterprises (SMEs) that have strong growth
potential. In order to be successful we believe that what is
required is a team that is highly commercially focused and
prepared go the "extra mile" for their clients. At Sapphire
Securities, we believe we have such a team, one that is
dedicated to assisting SMEs raise capital so that their
businesses can expand to the next level.
Because Private Equity investments carry a higher degree of
risk we only offer private equity opportunities to clients
who can demonstrate a suitable level of knowledge or
understanding in this area of investing.
Introduction to the private equity market at such an early
stage provides our clients with the chance to take advantage
of the potentially considerable uplift in the value of a
company's shares when they become quoted on the stock
exchange. Initial Public Offering or (IPO) investments have
the potential to yield high returns, however they do involve
a higher degree of risk. We undertake to ensure that all our
clients fully understand the risks involved before making an
investment within the private equity arena.
Most of these opportunities have a minimum investment level.
As such, many investors choose to purchase shares in a
number of businesses in order to spread their risk across
different companies and market sectors.
Due diligence is vital when assessing private equity
opportunities. This is why at Sapphire Securities each
potential opportunity is subject to a rigorous due diligence
and verification process to ensure that our clients are
provided with clear, fair, accurate and useful information
on each company prior to making their investment decision.
