PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT APPROACH AND CAPABILITIES

Primary deal flow refers to investment opportunities that arise directly from businesses, rather than through secondary sales or competitive auction processes. Transacting with corporates means acquiring businesses directly from corporate owners, such as large companies divesting non-core subsidiaries or restructuring their portfolios. This approach is highly beneficial as it allows for proprietary deals, reducing competition and often leading to more attractive valuations.

EUROPEAN MIDDLE MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Strong deal flow and attractive valuations: In 2024, the European private equity market recorded approximately €354 billion in deal activity through the third quarter, with the majority of deals being add-on acquisitions to existing private equity platforms. This indicates a robust deal flow in the middle market segment.

Opportunity for operational improvements: European mid-market private equity funds have demonstrated strong performance, with returns accelerating to 16.9% to the end of 2023. This performance underscores the potential for value creation through operational enhancements in middle-market companies.

Fragmented market with consolidation potential: The European market remains fragmented, with 3,185 completed transactions in Q3 2024, compared to 3,311 in Q3 2023—a 4% year-on-year decrease. This fragmentation presents opportunities for private equity funds to execute buy-and-build strategies, consolidating smaller entities into more competitive platforms.

Resilience and growth potential: Despite economic uncertainties, European mid-market private equity has shown resilience, with €215 billion invested over the last five years and returns accelerating to 16.9% to the end of 2023. This highlights the sector's capacity to withstand economic fluctuations and deliver consistent growth.

TRITON 6 - SEEDED PORTFOLIO WITH ATTRACTIVE ENTRY PRICING

A seeded portfolio is particularly attractive to wealth investors as it provides greater visibility into existing investments, reducing uncertainty and enhancing confidence in returns. With a seeded approach, investors can bypass the steep early-stage J-curve, benefiting from immediate value creation and early performance uplift. For example, Hanab, a portfolio company, was marked at 1.2x as of Q4, demonstrating the tangible advantages of early-stage investment momentum.
