Sourcing new investment opportunities for our clients from both the public domain and AIP’s specialist opportunity origination network.

AIP can proactively access both the conventional market and private market of investment prospects, connecting investors and companies across a wide range of equity, debt, fund, and asset opportunities that in some cases have yet to be marketed or reach the market through other avenues. We maintain excellent relationships with asset holders, corporates, investment banks, private equity firms, law firms and a host of other potential sources of information and deal flow.
We aim to be our client’s first call in identifying, accessing or creating a deal that can be analysed, marketed, syndicated and ultimately executed. AIP adopts a blind pool capital approach in each interaction where our client’s anonymity is withheld until a suitable point of introduction. In this way we aim to maintain the deal parameters as they existed prior to interest from our client and without potentially raising the price by the client reaching out directly to potential targets.
