CLIENT COMPANY INVESTMENT AND ADVISORY CRITERIA  
   
 
   
 
We invest in companies with defensible market positions, well-developed and sustainable brand equity, opportunities for growth through strategic or operational initiatives, which are led by strong management teams. Typical enterprise values range from $50 to $500 million. Leading and arranging capital for time-sensitive transactions requires the complex and creative capital structures that Shanghai Amara provides.
 
     
 
We have experience in Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Mining , Real Estate, Services and Media. Shanghai Amara engages only a handful of carefully selected clients, guaranteeing a high level of attention, better understanding of clients business and objectives, and therefore a substantially higher chance of a successful and fruitful transaction.
 
     
  Investments are generally made in the following types of situations :  
     
 
Management-Led Buyouts and Recapitalizations :
Shanghai Amara invests in companies that are undergoing ownership transition, subsidiary divestitures or partial recapitalizations. We are comfortable with both control and minority investments. Shanghai Amara will invest in partnership with other like-minded private equity firms.
 
     
 
Growth Capital :
Shanghai Amara will pursue investment opportunities in later-stage growth companies where there is a proven business model and strong management. These companies typically have a vision for growth, but need capital and a sophisticated financial partner to help them reach the next level.
 
     
 
Turnarounds & Restructurings :
Shanghai Amara will commit capital and resources in certain situations to facilitate the turnaround or restructuring of a business. We are comfortable with 'turnaround' investing when we believe in the fundamentals of the relevant market and the company's individual investment prospects.
