Our active regions include North America, Europe, and the Middle East, where we closely monitor innovation hubs for high-potential startups.Growth Capital
At the growth stage, we concentrate on direct investment opportunities within private companies that are positioned for expansion. Our focus areas include consumer goods, financial services, technology, and basic materials, excluding real estate. Working directly with founders and executive teams, we structure growth financing rounds and often bring on additional strategic co-investors to add value.Buyout Opportunities
In our Buyout segment, IMG Securities selectively invests in opportunities led by top-tier institutional sponsors with a proven track record. We evaluate buyout deals across a variety of sectors, prioritizing those led by sponsors with deep sector expertise and strong historical performance. This approach ensures that our buyout investments align with industry leaders and market specialists, maximizing potential for growth.Secondary Investments
Through secondary market acquisitions, we source and acquire limited partnership interests in top-tier private equity funds from motivated sellers. Our focus remains on acquiring positions in well-established funds that are trading at favorable discounts, providing our investors with access to mature, high-performing portfolios.Special Situations
Our Special Situations strategy captures unique, opportunistic transactions that fall outside of traditional private equity strategies. Leveraging our extensive network, we access exclusive opportunities, such as pre-IPO investments or co-management roles in frontier market funds. This flexible approach allows us to respond quickly to market dynamics and capitalize on exceptional circumstances for our investors.
Our Thematic Investment Sectors
Basic Resources
The global demand for energy and agricultural products is transforming the resource sector. IMG Securities invests in technologies and companies that enhance efficiency and create new opportunities for sustainable growth. Key themes include the continued expansion of U.S. oil production, low natural gas prices, and the strengthening role of farmers within the global value chain.
Technology
Technology-driven innovation continues to reshape the global economy, driven by the push for digital efficiency and the shift to web-based service models. IMG Securities targets opportunities in sectors where traditional, closed-network models are disrupted by cost-effective, high-quality digital solutions. Our investments focus on companies that leverage technology to deliver scalable, innovative services.
Consumer Goods & Services
As the middle class in emerging markets grows, demand for quality consumer goods and services is increasing. IMG Securities invests in companies that address this demand, with a focus on high-growth niches such as organic foods, environmental sustainability, and energy-efficient products. In developed markets, we pursue consumer trends that align with modern preferences for health, sustainability, and innovation.
Financial
Market imbalances and regulatory shifts have created opportunities within the financial sector, especially in illiquid and discounted assets. IMG Securities capitalizes on these opportunities by investing in quality assets with long-term value potential. With a view on the broader economy, our financial investments also focus on sectors benefiting from U.S. real estate recovery and sectors challenged by changing debt financing dynamics.
