GCC-EFM is a regional private equity investment manager focused on the MENA region. The firm invests in capital-intensive companies and projects across energy-related industries, particularly in the GCC states. They invest at all levels of the energy cycle in oil, gas and other energy-related sectors. Their sectors of interest include exploration and production, transportation, retail petrochemicals and refining processes including Gas-To-Liquids and Liquefied-Natural-Gas. They also invest in electricity generation, transmission and distribution, in energy-intensive industries such as air conditioning, desalination and smelter processes, and in alternative energy sources including solar power and gas collection and flaring. GCC-EFM aims to take advantage of investment opportunities afforded by the growth of the energy sector in the region, combined with the tendency for privately-held and family-owned business to undergo strategic restructuring. They favor companies with high-growth potential and a clear business plan, where the management team demonstrates an ability to tackle change. The firm acquires significant minority interests or majority stakes. Their targeted investment horizon is generally three to five years, more in cases where expected value creation justifies a longer investment period. Their exit strategies include trade sales and IPOs on a regional or international stock exchange.
