Private equity refers to the investment of capital in companies that are not publicly traded on stock exchanges. Private equity investors typically acquire controlling interests in these companies and work to improve their operations and financial performance in order to generate a return on their investment.

The private equity process typically involves several stages:

• Finding and evaluating potential investment opportunities. EDS leverages its proprietary global investment recovery, asset recovery, and receivership services platform to identify companies that are a good fit for our private equity investment opportunities.
• Conducting due diligence on potential investments. This includes analyzing the company’s financials, operations, and market position, as well as speaking with management and other stakeholders.
• Negotiating and structuring the investment. This involves determining the terms of the investment, such as the purchase price and the rights and responsibilities of EDS and the company’s management.
• Managing and growing the investment. EDS works closely with the management of its portfolio companies to implement operational improvements and growth strategies, such as expanding into new markets or launching new products.
• Exiting the investment. We typically hold our investments for several years and then look to exit through an initial public offering (IPO) or a strategic sale to another company.

Running a company is a complex process, requiring expert planning, advice, and execution. In committing its own funds, EDS’ Private Equity Group does not act as a broker but rather as a value-added partner—one who, together with its affiliates, can bring the funds and expertise needed to realize almost any given type of project. Our seasoned Private Equity Group professionals provide our portfolio companies and advisory clients with a broad range of value-creating—monetizing advice and services. This includes growing the company through strategic alliances and joint ventures from within our family of portfolio companies.

While we do not limit our investments and advisory services to any particular industry or sector. We are particularly attracted to and skilled at investing in and advising Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences, Leading-Edge Defense Technologies, and U.S. Government Contractors requiring TS Clearance, Women-Owned Businesses, and Distressed Assets real and moveable.

Many great companies are closely held and family-owned businesses. Owners of such companies are motivated for various reasons, but one element remains constant—they want their babies to grow and succeed. We regard our portfolio companies and clients as ‘Family‘. Our commitment is nurturing, reliable, constant, and untiring.

As patient long-term investors dedicated to value creation, we exit our investments through IPOs, sales to strategic buyers, and other means when the time is right.
