THE FIRM
Perspective comes first.
Based in New York. Focused on the business, asset and structure behind an investment.
Coutts Equity Group is based in New York. Our perspective on private markets begins with the underlying business or asset: how it operates, what supports its cash flows and what could cause those fundamentals to change.
Capital can support an ownership transition, a business expansion, a property or an essential service. Its role depends on the circumstances. The investment case connects that economic purpose with the transaction structure and the risks involved.
The disciplines presented here span private equity, real assets and credit. Each calls for clear evidence, careful analysis and an understanding of the obligations that accompany an investment.
Our investment approach
Business fundamentals
Begin with customers, cash flow and the role of the business or asset in its market.
Structure and alignment
Consider ownership rights, financing obligations and the interests of each party together.
Long-term perspective
Understand the resources required to execute a plan and the possible paths to repayment or realization.
