What is a Search Fund?

Numaris Capital builds on the proven success of the Search Fund model, a financial vehicle created by individuals who raise money from a group of advising investors to support their efforts to locate, acquire, and partner with a privately held company over the medium to long term.

Phases of a Search Fund

The Search Fund model follows a well studied life cycle that consists of 4 phases.

Search for a company

The main objective of this stage is to screen and evaluate potential industries and candidates that meet certain requirements. 

Acquisition

When contact is made with a prospect, the acquisition procedure starts, followed by a negotiation with the seller in order to establish an offer.

Operation and value creation

When the acquisition is done, the fund team and the entrepreneur work together towards a common objective and achieve value creation.

Exit strategy phase

Liquidity events for investors and principals can occur in a number of ways.
