We focus on those companies that are in their expansion phase and offer unparalleled investment opportunities . We focus on private and public development stage companies, during the "expansion phase".

It is a timeframe that concentrates transforming corporate decisions and actions, a period of fastest value creation for stakeholders and highest leverage on operational models. It opens the opportunity to seize unique momentum in the lifecycle of a company, make arbitrage according to private and public markets conditions, and ideally optimize investment structure and returns.

Our Crossover Investment Strategy

Our experience of both public and private financing enables us to deploy a unique investment strategy that encompasses public and private situations.

The crossover investing model provides the advantage of leveraging Bryan, Garnier & Co's core strengths - industry knowledge, strong networks and a deep understanding of technology-related markets - and exploiting significant investment opportunities throughout the entire market segment rather than focusing solely on private equity or the public markets. We provide a continuous support to the companies we are backing, at each stage of their development.

Our industry Focus

Our team cumulates more than 50 years of investment experience in technology related companies. This background associated with Bryan Garnier's leading position on this market, provide a sustainable competitive advantage to BGPI and enables us to identify investment opportunities, and to support our portfolio companies on consolidation and exit opportunities more rapidly and effectively than less specialised investors.

Leveraging the bank 's research capacity and industry expertise, we primarily targets technology and technology-related companies in the following sectors:

• Technology, Software & Telecom
• Media & Communication
• Healthcare
• Environment & Energy
• Specialty Retail
• Business services

Our Flexible Approach

We are agnostic in terms of investment structure : we have significant flexibility in selecting and structuring our investments. We seek to structure our investments by means of debt or equity securities (as appropriate), so as to take into account the uncertain and potentially variable financial performance of portfolio companies.

Portfolio companies are expected to be able to retain access to committed capital at different stages in their development and eliminate some of the uncertainty surrounding their capital planning decisions.

This flexible approach to structuring investments facilitates positive, long-term relationships with portfolio companies and their equity sponsors and enable us to become a preferred source of capital.
