Sourcing of Investment Opportunities
The breadth and quality of Saratoga's proprietary relationships differentiate it in the sourcing of investment opportunities, providing competitive positioning advantages which often result in exclusive negotiations. These relationships include those of Saratoga's partners and professional staff, limited partners and clients, alumni management of Saratoga portfolio companies, and other continuing private equity relationships in venture capital and energy. Saratoga also maintains relationships with experienced managers through its Executive Program who generate investment opportunities as well as investment analysis, expertise and management resources.
From the point of view of Saratoga Partners, its investors and its portfolio companies, the spin out of Saratoga from Warburg Dillon Read has provided a substantial opportunity to benefit from Saratoga's personal and professional relationships with limited partners, clients, alumni managements of Saratoga portfolio companies and other continuing private equity relationships, while realizing the benefits of independence, incremental opportunity flow and focused entrepreneurial incentives
