Investment Strategy

Silverfleet was an early adopter in the European market of buy & build (or industry consolidation) as an investment strategy for its portfolio companies. Silverfleet reports annually on the level of buy & build activity undertaken in Europe by private equity backed companies. The latest version of this report can be downloaded from http://www.silverfleetcapital.com/our_news/research or http://www.mergermarket.com/remark/article/1120/. Silverfleet is a strong advocate for buy & build and believes it to be one of the principle methods by which private equity firms can add real economic value to their portfolio companies.

In relation to the Walker guidelines on transparency in private equity, Silverfleet's managing partner has gone on record to challenge suggestions that its recommendations should be extended to included mid-market private equity firms.
