Notizie da: Petrobras, ADNOC, Lunate, Chimera Investment, Sierra Ventures, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Northleaf Capital

Sep 18, 2023

Notizie da: Petrobras, ADNOC, Lunate, Chimera Investment, Sierra Ventures, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Northleaf Capital La compagnia petrolifera statale brasiliana Petrobras è in trattative con l’ADNOC di Abu Dhabi per una partecipazione di controllo nell’azienda petrolchimica Braskem, ha detto venerdì il quotidiano Folha de Sao Paulo citando fonti vicine alla questione. Si veda qui zawya . Secondo il quotidiano, Petrobras starebbe analizzando una joint venture con ADNOC, mentre una quota di minoranza rimarrebbe a Novonor, attuale principale azionista di Braskem insieme alla compagnia petrolifera brasiliana. Finora sono state presentate tre offerte per prendere il controllo di Braskem: un’offerta congiunta da parte dell’ADNOC di Abu Dhabi e del gestore patrimoniale statunitense Apollo, e proposte separate delle società brasiliane Unipar Carbocloro e J&F. ABU DHABI – Lunate, un nuovo gestore di investimenti alternativi globale indipendente e guidato da partner, ha annunciato oggi il suo lancio con oltre 50 miliardi di dollari di asset in gestione (AuM), rendendolo uno dei più grandi nella regione MENA. Si veda qui zawya . La creazione di Lunate segue uno sforzo multilaterale volto a creare un gestore di investimenti indipendente di ampia portata, con sede ad Abu Dhabi e al servizio dei mercati globali. Con un focus sui mercati privati, Lunate è un’entità indipendente di proprietà di Chimera Investment LLC e del senior management di Lunate. Il suo mandato si concentra esclusivamente sulla generazione di rendimenti superiori adeguati al rischio per i propri clienti ed è stato strutturato per fornire soluzioni di investimento multi-asset class sul mercato privato e pubblico a investitori istituzionali, fondi pensione, family office e altre società di investimento. Lunate, che avrà sede nell’Abu Dhabi Global Market, il principale centro finanziario internazionale situato nell’isola di Al Maryah, Abu Dhabi, ha firmato conti gestiti separati (SMA) a lungo termine con diversi clienti al momento del lancio con l’impegno di gestire le loro asset esistenti e distribuire nuovo capitale. Sierra Ventures ha annunciato oggi la chiusura del suo 13° fondo a 265 milioni di dollari, superando il suo obiettivo. Si veda qui il comunicato stampa. L’azienda dispone di un modello disciplinato di fondi di giuste dimensioni per concentrarsi sull’essere un investitore precoce nelle migliori società B2B in tutto il Nord America nelle fasi Seed e Serie A. L’azienda ha generato fondi con le migliori performance essendo il primo investitore in unicorni come Reify Health (Vertical SaaS) a Boston, Phenom (Enterprise Applications) a Filadelfia e Astronomer (Infrastructure Software) a Cincinnati. Dal 2012, sotto la guida degli attuali soci amministratori Mark Fernandes, Tim Guleri e Ben Yu, Sierra ha raccolto tre fondi con le migliori prestazioni, aumentando con attenzione le dimensioni del fondo per adeguarsi alla loro attenzione alle fasi Seed e Serie A. Il Fondo XIII continuerà questa strategia volta a trovare le migliori aziende B2B in tutto il paese e ad aiutare gli imprenditori a espandere le proprie attività con risorse su prodotto e go-to-market, reclutamento di dirigenti e raccolta fondi. Inoltre, il CXO Advisory Board di Sierra, giunto al suo 18 ° anno, ha fornito preziosi consigli da parte di oltre 75 dirigenti tecnologici F1000 alle società in portafoglio. La reputazione di Sierra come partner strategico con una comprovata esperienza rende l’azienda un alleato inestimabile per i fondatori. Il Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) e Northleaf Capital Partners (Northleaf) hanno annunciato oggi che CPP Investments ha esteso la sua partnership di lunga data di investimenti in private equity con Northleaf. Si veda qui il comunicato stampa . CPP Investments ha impegnato 200 milioni di dollari canadesi nel mercato canadese del private equity attraverso un sempreverde mandato canadese per il mercato medio gestito da Northleaf. Da quando la partnership è stata fondata nel 2006 e con questa allocazione, Northleaf ora gestisce un totale di 2,4 miliardi di dollari canadesi in investimenti di private equity canadesi per conto di CPP Investments. Il mandato personalizzato di Northleaf per CPP Investments si concentra sulla massimizzazione dei rendimenti netti attraverso investimenti di fondi primari in fondi di crescita e buyout canadesi di mercato piccolo e medio, investimenti secondari e coinvestimenti diretti.
