Alchemy’s private equity business has advised on over 100 completed transactions with more than £2.0 billion of equity invested to date. Turnaround transactions and public to private opportunities are particular specialities with 24 public to private transactions undertaken so far. Alchemy likes difficult deals!
In addition, Alchemy participates in a joint venture with the Ashmore Group in a domestic Indian Development Capital business.
Special Opportunities
In early 2006, Alchemy sought to offer investors additional ways to take advantage of the investment opportunities arising from the over exuberance of the debt markets in the preceding years. Later that year, Ian Cash and Frits Prakke joined Alchemy to establish a distressed debt and special opportunities fund management business, Alchemy Special Opportunities LLP.
Fundraising for the Alchemy Special Opportunities Fund LP (“ASOF”) was completed in March 2007 and the team now comprises seven investment professionals.
