Opportunities exist even in obstacle-prone environments, according to a remark by a well-known investor. This applies to almost all markets facing today's global challenges.
As private capital investors continue to navigate their private equity journey, which plays a pivotal role in a country's push for economic development, it is of utmost importance that Due Diligence is practised on their targeted investments before sealing a deal.
With professional money managers responsible for making equity investments, investing in private equity contributes to the long-term value creation of the companies. This, all while considering responsible and ethical investment practices, such as Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) requirements thatcontribute positively to society and the environment.
Conducting Due Diligence is essential for investors, allowing them to understand the true nature, value and risk of the investment and the potential for future growth.
Due Diligence is essential not only to making equity investments but for business partnerships as it helps assess important aspects of a potential partner. A successful and sustainable partnership is significantly dependent upon the conduct of adequate due diligence practices.
This training, delivered in partnership with MPE&VCA's member firms, SCM Legal and Delta Capital, is designed to help you to understand the essentials of investigation and analysis when determining if a target company meets an investor's funding criteria.
