Avanti Capital is a private equity company. Unlike conventional close-ended private equity funds, Avanti has no set investment timetable and focuses on the quality of individual investments rather than a portfolio strategy-led high quantity investment ethic.

Avanti has an executive team with extensive experience of investing in and running companies across a wide range of sectors. The professional backgrounds and business experience of the executive team enable Avanti to see value in situations may be unattractive to the other investors. The presence of structural issues within businesses is seen as an opportunity to create more value from any particular investment.

Avanti's approach to investments is both rigorous and discerning and reflects the fact that it is seeking exceptional opportunities to invest in businesses with high quality management teams and where Avanti's own management can feel truly passionate about the business's prospects.

Avanti's investment criteria are as follows: -

• European businesses.
• Strong management with a proven track record.
• Wide ranging businesses, which show the potential for material growth in the short to medium term, including consumer brands, leisure, retail and specialist support services.
• Undervalued businesses or assets in both the public and private arena.
• Where appropriate, the company will seek to raise debt finance to part fund any investment.

Avanti Capital is listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange and therefore offers shareholders participation in private equity deals through a quoted vehicle.
