Silverfern Co-Investment Partners^SM (SCIP) is a proprietary private equity co-investment vehicle that seeks to make equity co-investments in the range of $50 million to $150 million per transaction (SCIP’s share) with leading private equity firms (Lead Sponsors) in buyouts, acquisitions and recapitalizations that have strong potential for attractive returns.

The primary benefits to a Lead Sponsor in partnering with SCIP are:

• Lead Sponsors can “punch above their weight” – with SCIP as a co-investor, Lead Sponsors can speak for more capital in a transaction than would otherwise be possible without the need to "club up" with other sponsor firms, and can therefore retain deal control from initial investment to ultimate realization
• Quick, discreet and disciplined co-investment process that will not slow down a fast-moving transaction
• “Lead” deal attribution stays with the Lead Sponsor
• No competition on governance or strategic management post-investment
• An investment time horizon that is consistent with current private equity standards - SCIP is patient capital
• Access to the significant deal and structuring experience of the dedicated SCIP investment team
• Ongoing access to The Silverfern Group, Inc. as a relationship partner of the Firm
  • M&A Advisory: Proprietary Deal Flow
  • Private Equity Fundraising: Access to Global Capital Raising Expertise
  • SCIP: Equity Co-Investment Capital
• High degree of investment criteria flexibility
• Neither SCIP nor The Silverfern Group will compete with its Lead Sponsor partners in any regard on any transaction

SCIP Capital Management, LLC, the manager of SCIP, is an affiliate of The Silverfern Group, Inc., (Silverfern). Silverfern is an independently-owned investment banking boutique specializing in Mergers & Acquisitions Advisory and Private Equity & Hedge Fund Fundraising.

Silverfern’s senior bankers deliver a compelling competitive advantage to its clients – providing the highest levels of Wall Street advice, analytical support and negotiating deal experience that the world's largest funds and corporations routinely rely upon to those middle market companies and growing funds that the bulge-bracket Wall Street Banks do not effectively service.

Silverfern’s senior professionals have amassed over 140 years of investment banking experience, have closed over 345 mergers & acquisitions transactions, have raised over $2.5 billion in alternative investments fundraising transactions, and have completed private equity financings of over $15 billion in North America and Europe.

Bringing to bear the inherent benefits of SCIP along with the full-firm support and proprietary deal origination capabilities of The Silverfern Group makes SCIP a compelling co-investment partner for Lead Sponsors to consider.
