These shares can be either the issuer’s shares (convertible) or others’ shares (exchangeable); the counterparty for these products are public investors.

• Private Investments in Public Entities (PIPEs): committed equity capital placed to small group of private investors

The team’s clients are mainly corporates / institutions that are looking to raise financing as part of their organic/inorganic growth trajectory.
