The past 15 years has seen a massive expansion in global private equity markets, in large part because of the extraordinary growth of the technology sector, especially Information Technology and Biotechnology. Though markets have corrected over the past few years, the need for private equity for both private and public companies is still growing.
The UK and European investment community appears to have maintained its appetite for both US and European private equity deals, and ACP focuses on sourcing and distributing such deals to both investment managers and high-net worth individuals.
ACP selects private equity deals which show promise for growth in their particular industry because of the client company's unique technology or methodology combined with an experienced management team capable of reaching its investors' objectives.
ACP has an in-depth knowledge of MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) .........
......and Nano-Technology.
ACP also has experience and a keen interest in working with companies who have developed new technologies addressing environmental issues. Some of ACP's Principals have personally invested in helping to commercialise some of these environmentally sustainable technologies, by creating new businesses employing these "Green" solutions. One such venture is using a sustainable hardwood to make guitars.
As security becomes more and more important in daily life, Biometric companies are aggressively competing to develop secure, integrated and noninvasive systems.
As depleting energy resources and escalating oil prices become daily front page news, ACP believes that there is tremendous opportunity for investments in innovative alternatives.
