Strategic Advisory
The secular forces of globalization, technological disruption and economic inter-dependency create a conundrum for companies where a cogent strategy is crucial to help them navigate through the noise and clutter of market signals. Yet strategy needs to be more nimble, responsive and adaptable than ever before.
The velocity of change and the sources of competition ensure that companies not only have to compete with their conventional rivals but also guard against disruptive innovators outside of their field of vision.
At Neuron, we provide our clients a holistic comprehension of a broad range of trends, opportunities, challenges, risks and innovations which will impact their businesses. Beyond understanding the forces and signals at play, Neuron creates actionable strategies which can fortify and equip our clients to respond to those challenges in an effective manner and win in the marketplace.
The response can take the shape of a new product or service development, a change in priorities, a new partnership, a divestiture and even an outright merger or acquisition.
M&A and Divestiture Advisory
At Neuron, we believe that selling and buying of companies and assets at the appropriate valuations and at the opportune stages of a particular market's cycle is crucial to delivering returns that are in line with our clients' stated risk-return expectations.
After all, most of our institutional and investment management clients have a fiduciary responsibility to their stakeholders and limited partners. We take our role in enabling our clients to dispense their fiduciary responsibilities successfully as the ultimate litmus test of our capability as an advisor.
Therefore, Neuron's counsel to our clients in executing optimal transaction outcomes on their acquisitions and disposals is extraordinarily important.
Like all businesses, we believe that companies and assets have a life-cycle.
Therefore, assets require a thoughtful narrative to draw out the depth and breadth of their value within a broader economic, commercial, geo-political and cultural context.
We pay close attention to our client's asset quality, current and potential use of the asset, micro-economic and macro-economic factors, disposal or acquisition timing, tax considerations and other relevant factors when advising our clients on M&A transactions.
Whether it is an acquisition of a technology business or it is disposals of assets for our Private Equity clients, Neuron Partners taps into its extensive capital markets relationships around the world which span sovereign wealth funds, private equity, venture capital, crossover funds, hedge funds, REIT's, insurance companies, pension funds, family offices and high net worth individuals (HNWI's).
