Core strategies
Greenwell invests in public and private assets around the world. We implement ideas developed through critical thinking and rigorous bottom-up fundamental analysis. Our main focus is on emerging and innovative markets that make a positive impact on the economy, hence why our fund works exclusively with well established companies. Greenwell Capital Management seeks investments across asset classes and around the world through a process of bottom-up fundamental research and analysis emphasizing capital preservation. Our investment strategies include Direct Investments, Merger Arbitrage, Real Estate Investments, and IPO Strategy & Process Consulting.
Direct Investments
Our Direct Investments are typically longer-dated, less liquid private market transactions and may be in various parts of the capital structure. We generally look for inefficiently financed situations where we can facilitate a recapitalization, or situations in which traditional institutional financial capital is not available. We are prepared to move quickly, providing timely, customized financial solutions. This strategy can include transitional financing in the form of senior secured and mezzanine loans, project and acquisition financing, non-performing loan portfolios, convertible debt, and event and growth equity.
IPO Strategy & Process Consulting Our IPO strategy helps established organizations open up paths to capital or boost their public profile by making its shares available for purchase by the general public. An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance. IPOs frequently are conducted by mature, successful enterprises eager to create value by going public themselves or to transform a subsidiary or line of business into a standalone public company. Greenwell works with companies throughout the IPO process to boost value and proceeds, ease complexity, and position companies for a successful path in the capital markets.
Merger Arbitrage
Our Merger Arbitrage strategy is focused mainly on corporate takeovers. Each investment seeks to capture the spread between the current and projected values of securities of companies involved in a merger or acquisition. To employ this strategy, we typically establish a long position (usually a purchase of common stock) in an announced takeover candidate and, if the proposed merger or acquisition is structured as a share-for-share deal, take a short position in the acquiring company.
Long-Short Equity
Our Long-Short Equity strategy primarily invests in common stock that we believe is underpriced or overpriced relative to its intrinsic or fundamental value, based on an in-depth, differentiated assessment of a company and its market compared to other market participants. Investments also may be made in anticipation of events, changes or catalysts. Market risk and other risks may be hedged through a variety of financial instruments.
Real Estate Investments
Our Real Estate strategy pursues generally illiquid investments in real estate-related assets, especially in cases where improvement of the asset, leasing and addition of management expertise can add value. We invest opportunistically across a broad range of real estate assets, in various parts of the capital structure, with a focus on office, retail, multifamily and industrial assets.
