FLEXIBLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE SUPPORT
FOR the uk investment community





We are a provider of high quality research, analysis and decision-making

support to the UK investment community.


Our clients operate in an increasingly competitive environment. We understand

the challenges they face and the quality of work that they require to be successful.

We want to work with firms seeking additional resources to support business-critical decision

making, without the HR and cost burden of local market recruitment and – critically – without

having to sacrifice the standard of their work.

We provide our clients with a flexible and cost effective extension to their in-house team,

enabling them to extend their capability and optimise their resources.

Our team is based in Cape Town, a lower cost environment with a proud tradition

of high quality, well trained finance, strategy and investment professionals.

Our time-zone proximity to the UK allows us to collaborate closely with our clients

and work in parallel with their teams.


We are more than just an additional resource for our clients. We want to add real value. ​



What we do





Research & Analysis





From deal origination and the very start of the investment process through to portfolio management and exit, we can provide research and analysis to optimise our clients’ investment decisions.




Financial Modeling & Valuation





From basic valuation models to more complex LBO, capital structuring and operating models, we can build the financial analysis required to enable our clients to assess their investment opportunities, identify key risks and opportunities and measure ongoing performance.



DEAL SUPPORT





Whether they are preparing for a deal or are in the thick of a deal execution, we can ensure that our clients are well prepared and we will work as a natural extension of their deal team.



Strategy & Value Creation





When looking at new industries or market opportunities, or working with portfolio companies to grow value in their existing businesses, we can provide our clients with strategic analysis to understand market dynamics, key value drivers, identify growth opportunities and manage potential risks.




Portfolio Management





Once the investment is made, we can provide support to ensure consistent performance management and that our clients are able to take advantage of ongoing value opportunities.
