The aspirations and ambitions of the management and shareholders are just as important as the transaction type. At Midway, we focus on transactions where we can proactively work with other shareholders to create value for the benefit of all parties. Whether the transaction is an acquisition of a non-core subsidiary , the provision of growth capital for a family business, or an acquisition-led sector consolidation, Midway seeks an active role in assisting and empowering management to build world-class businesses.
Global Firm
Expertise does not simply mean knowledge of the local markets. It means an appreciation of the needs of those markets - of the industries which are developing in those markets and of the demands of a fast-growing economy. As such, our approach is to invest in growing companies with a proven track record in industries that are benefiting from the key drivers of economic change. Much of the economic growth in emerging markets can be linked to the rise in personal wealth and consumption and increased investment in domestic infrastructure. Sectors that are typically stimulated by these drivers are naturally the sectors in which Midway has gained an expertise. In addition to infrastructure and real estate, in pure private equity, this means we focus on four key sectors: Financial Services - Consumer
- Business services
- Industrials
In each of these sectors, Midway has experts operating across the markets. Experts and investment teams have deep industry insight and provide the knowledge required to identify and find hidden value in investment opportunities. When combined with our understanding of the local market, the sector teams can tailor their sector-specific advice to local conditions and the full potential of our one firm approach is realized.
