LIFT Asset Management has taken a new step in its alternative investment strategy with the creation of LIFT Professional Services, Sociedad de Capital Riesgo (SCR). This new entity is focused on investing in companies providing financial, real estate and professional services such as private banks, insurance brokers, real estate agencies and law firms.
Sector focus
The chosen sector is currently undergoing a process of consolidation, offering attractive investment opportunities both in the Spanish and international markets.
The fund promoted by LIFT Asset Management will be mainly focused on the Spanish market, although the possibility of making acquisitions abroad is not ruled out. The objective is to identify operations with high profitability potential, both in newly created groups and in already consolidated companies, with the intention of building a diversified portfolio comprising between ten and fifteen investees.
The strategy of the new vehicle is mostly to take minority stakes in the capital of target companies. However, the fund maintains a flexible stance and is open to other investment structures, such as majority stakes or convertible equity instruments - a hybrid formula that is initially presented as a convertible security, but acts as equity - as explained by Ana Espárrago, partner in M&A and Private Equity.
According to Francisco López Posadas, CEO of LIFT Asset Management, ‘The dynamics of the sector are very attractive: companies with strong growth capacity, both organic and inorganic, low CAPEX and a high cash generation capacity. In addition, our experience and knowledge of this ecosystem allows us to provide high added value to the companies in which we invest’.
With a target volume of up to 20 million euros, and a direct commitment of 10% by LIFT Asset Management, the new company will be managed by Alaluz Capital, SGIIC, S.A.
