Eaton Partners Formalizes Capital Raising Platform For Direct Investment Opportunities

ROWAYTON, Conn., April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Partners, one of the world's largest placement agents and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF), announced today the formation of a dedicated team within the firm that will raise capital for direct investment opportunities globally. Widely regarded as a pioneer of the fund placement industry, Eaton Partners is now increasingly working with management teams, independent sponsors and general partners to raise capital for pre-specified, singular investments.

"When Charlie Eaton founded the firm 34 years ago, alternative investments were a new frontier for institutional investors. Today, those institutions have grown in sophistication to the point where they are complementing and, in some cases, replacing their commingled fund investments with direct investments into private companies and other tangible assets," said Chrystalle Anstett, Managing Director at Eaton Partners. "We expect this evolution to continue and are excited to bring differentiated deal flow to investors from our unique vantage point in the market."

In the past six months, Eaton Partners has raised nearly $500 million for four direct investment opportunities in the financial services, power and energy sectors. The firm is seeking new mandates to raise at least $50 million for direct and co-investment opportunities. Eaton Partners also has a dedicated secondary advisory team that works with both general partners and limited partners to provide bespoke services in the form of fund restructurings, recapitalizations, GP interest sales and secondary LP interest purchases and sales. 

"As a solutions provider, we raise all forms of capital across all industries and sectors," said Peter Martenson, Partner at Eaton Partners. "By formalizing our directs practice, we look forward to enhancing the range of services we can bring our clients and continuing the Eaton reputation of representing innovative, high-quality investment opportunities."
