Citi Private Equity ("CPE")

 

Citi Private Equity ("CPE") manages private equity fund commitments, non-control direct private equity investments and mezzanine debt investments on behalf of Citi's proprietary accounts and third party clients. CPE is a direct beneficiary of Citi's long history in private equity both as a direct investor and as a limited partner in third party funds dating back to the 1960s. Over time and through many market cycles, Citi has built a deep private equity network. Citi's unrivaled global presence with offices in over 100 countries and the vast resources of a diversified financial organization help create far-reaching insight on market conditions and emerging opportunities.

 

CPE's experienced investment professionals are based in New York and London and oversee more than 300 limited partnership investments in private equity and over 75 direct investments. With diverse backgrounds in areas such as capital markets, leveraged finance, financial sponsor coverage and mergers and acquisitions, the members of CPE's investment team are afforded a broad perspective on private equity. The programs created for our clients focus exclusively on identifying and investing with leading private equity firms across all geographies and investment styles and sizes that have demonstrated an ability to generate attractive returns in their areas of specialty, including leveraged buyouts, venture capital, mezzanine debt, distressed debt and direct equity co-investing.

 

CPE utilizes a distinct business model in which all investment professionals are active in both fund investing and direct equity co-investing alongside CPE's fund partners. CPE's direct equity co-investing and mezzanine orientation allows it to deepen relationships and investment perspectives and to conduct on-going due diligence of its portfolio managers. This "first-hand" view of each private equity fund is critical to re-investment decisions as a limited partner. In addition, Citi's investment relationships often provide a favored position in terms of access when oversubscribed private equity firms raise new funds.
