Our specialized team owns wide expertise in the investment vehicles structuring in different jurisdictions, advising on the most appropriate structure according the main goals disclosed by our clients. Some of the main goals pursued on setting up new investment vehicles are asset value protection, centralized and efficient wealth management, flexibility on new investments and portfolio management and fiscal optimization of income flows arising from assets held.

The concentration of the investment portfolio in a dedicated corporate structure can bring significant gains in operational efficiency in its management, and also allow tax optimization in case of assets / investors spread over the world, thus increasing the return for the investor. With a more detailed analysis, it will be possible to identify the structure that best suits the investor’s objectives, taking into account the nature of the investments under consideration, the risk assumed and the diversity of the income generated.

The MP Financial Advisory team has experience in gathering several like-minded private investors into short club deals for specific investment opportunities. By syndicating the equity ownership across a group of investors, each one reduces its concentration and is able to maintain the diversification of its portfolio of investments.

MP acts as main appointed Investment Advisor of each Investor Club, under the terms fully disclosed to the investors, and responsible for the full investment cycle management since screening stage until exit phase.

Various investors have been struggling to find professional local platforms which ‘speak their language’ while sharing common investment principles, report standards and values. Some markets are inherently local, with a deep understanding of the market dynamics being a crucial factor for successful investment. Recognizing this, various international investors have developed partnerships or acquired local platforms in order to implement their strategies in the Portuguese market.

MP Financial Advisory team offers a complete service, ranging from sourcing, execution, asset management and implementation of exit strategies. Being deeply rooted and combining a large experience and knowledge in the Portuguese market, we are the partner of choice for foreign private equities in finding and realizing profitable mid-sized acquisitions and investment opportunities in Portugal. The agreement should consider incentives / fee structure aligned with investors by tying a significant component to performance, and may involve investment programs or limited to a limited set of deals.
