NB Private Equity Partners

One of the advantages of NBPE’s co-investment model is that the manager’s investment team can be highly selective, with new investment decisions taken on a case by case basis. It is paramount to select the best companies to complement the existing portfolio, balanced against the pace of realisations and maintaining a strong balance sheet.   Since the year end NBPE has deployed $75 million into three new investments, two in the healthcare sector and one in the Industrials sector. Benecon, an employee health benefits solutions provider, Zeus, a leader in mission-critical components for lifesaving medical procedures and FDH Aero a distributor of hardware, electrical, chemical, and consumable products and services to the aerospace and defense industry.   We believe these companies both have strong growth prospects, and demonstrate NBPE's belief of investing into companies which will benefit from long-term secular drivers.    𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴��𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬𝘴, 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴. 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘉 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘜𝘚 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴.
