Minority stake investments continue to be used by a range of alternative investment managers for various reasons. The different characteristics and objectives of sellers call for different types of transactions to meet their needs – e.g., PE sponsors and other managers with long-term capital streams are best suited to minority stake investors. In other instances, the nature of the investing entity can dictate a preferred approach – e.g., sovereign wealth funds and insurance companies are well-suited to participate in seed-and-stake transactions. To discuss the four primary transaction types for minority stake investments, Morgan Lewis recently hosted a program featuring partner Robert D. Goldbaum and of counsel Joanna Maria El Khoury. The panel also addressed specific considerations investors should weigh in each type of transaction; liquidity and other rights typically afforded to investors; and specific issues and considerations for minority stake transactions in the Middle East. This article summarizes the panelists’ insights and key takeaways.
