Beltone Private Equity, a 46% owned subsidiary of Beltone Partners, was established in early 2006 with a unique vision to combine the investment experience of the founders of Beltone Financial with the industrial experience of Mr. Hazem Barakat, an accomplished Egyptian industrialist with a wealth of experience in diverse industries.
As of end of October 2008, Beltone Private Equity had over E£ 1.5 billion in assets under management in a diverse range of investments. Beltone Private Equity has a team of qualified professionals, whose background ranges from industrial operations to financial services. Our investment philosophy is based on value creation for both investors and portfolio companies. We approach the investment process as a win-win partnership and a complementary relationship with the management of earmarked business opportunities. Our value creation strategy is built on long-term vision, a strong foothold of regional relationships, access to a diverse pool of human talent, and a broader perspective supported by ambitious growth via roll-out of winning concepts, as well as creating value through financial restructuring. Our focus on developing long-term relationships with our partners in portfolio companies allows us to capitalize on different perspectives, generate ideas, and develop winning strategies for growth.
