Partners buys China-focused firm
Print Edition
Swiss investment manager Partners Group Holding AG has agreed to buy the majority of China-focused elevator guide rail maker Savera Group for around 2 billion yuan (US$325 million), people with knowledge of the matter said.
The buyout would be the asset manager’s first in China and would give it control of Spain-based Savera which began life focused on Europe but which now generates 80 percent of revenue in China, the world’s most populous country.
Savera, founded in 1967, hired financial adviser Business Development Asia to sell a stake of around 75 percent. Savera’s founders would retain the balance, the people said.
A spokeswoman for Partners declined to comment, while BDA did not respond to requests for comment. Savera could not be reached for comment. Sources declined to be identified as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Partners had 33.8 billion euros (US$45 billion) in assets under management at the end of June, and invests money in private equity, infrastructure, debt and real estate. To earn higher returns, Partners is expanding into Asia by investing in companies directly, with its latest deal valuing Savera at around US$433 million.
Partners’ Savera investment is the latest in a series of deals where suitors have taken advantage of a trend toward selling controlling stakes in businesses either based in China, or with significant exposure to the world’s second-biggest economy.
That trend has been fueled by owners long being unable to exit businesses by listing on Chinese stock exchanges because of a recently ended suspension on new listings as part of market reform.
