Private Equity Funds have assumed an increasingly crucial role in supporting the growth of the economy through their investments. Private Equity Funds may have different strategies, commonly associated with the investment in the share capital of the companies, which are carried out in the form of control ownership or minority interest, with a focus on one or more business sectors (for example: Consumer & Retail, Industrial, Telecom & Technology and Pharmaceuticals), or even strategies that unite different sectors but with a common element of disruption compared to the past, such as digital or energy transformation, which requires large investments for its implementation.

Intesa Sanpaolo, with the IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division, offers a wide range of products and services for Private Equity clients: first and foremost, there are the structured financing services represented by leveraged and High Yield bridge to bond loans, instrumental for funds to acquire target companies and optimize the capital investment structure.

In recent years, our group has consolidated not only the traditional financing operations based on take & hold loans, but also a model of underwriting and subsequent distribution to third-party investors and/or other banks, in order, on the one hand, to better serve its clients with a one stop shop approach enabling to secure the transaction with a single bank counterpart and, on the other hand, to improve the profitability of its balance sheet, whilst maintaining rigorous control over the risks undertaken.

Matteo Zenari, Head of Financial Sponsor Group, IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division, explains the qualified and innovative role of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group in expanding this market.
