CLUB DEAL

Averau Capital, leveraging its network, selects the best club deals for direct investment in SMEs.

A club deal is a collaborative investment structure in which a small group of investors (entrepreneurs, managers, family offices) pool capital to acquire stakes in unlisted companies or real estate projects, positioning itself between individual investing and private equity. It allows participants to share risks and expertise while accessing high-profile transactions with greater flexibility.

Key Features and Advantages:

• Flexibility and Selection: Unlike closed-end funds, in club deals investors individually choose which projects to finance, evaluating each target on a case-by-case basis.

• Access to Large Transactions: It enables investors to overcome the entry barriers of large-scale investments, which are often inaccessible to individual investors.

• Active Participation: Investors may influence governance and support the growth of the target company, sometimes with the assistance of external advisors.

• Structuring (SPV): The transaction is typically carried out through a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), which acquires the stake in the target company.

• Diversification: Risk is reduced through participation in multiple specific transactions (e.g., real estate, SMEs, startups).
