About The Fund

ECS Capital is a private equity and restructuring firm based in Lisbon, Portugal, founded in 2006. They specialize in providing expansion capital financing, management buy-in, management buy-out, and recapitalization. ECS Capital operates as a leading investment manager and harnesses a partnership with Davidson Kempner Capital Management to combine regional expertise with global investment firm capabilities. This synergy empowers them to identify the best opportunities and navigate complex challenges across various industries. ECS Capital's approach is centered around the principle of turning investment into value, not only by delivering returns to their investors but also by enabling the companies they partner with to maximize their potential in any stage or circumstances. They focus on three main areas of private investments: Real Estate, Corporate Private Equity, and Special Situations. Their real estate investments span hotels & resorts, offices, residential, industrial, retail, and land. In the corporate private equity space, they target capital investment in privately held companies to improve operations and enhance value. The special situations segment involves investing in unique and often complex scenarios that can affect a company's value or performance. ECS values sustainable value creation, being curious, flexible, and collaborative, which plays a crucial role in achieving common goals and ensuring successful investment outcomes. The firm also notes the importance of understanding and addressing technical issues, which aids in their holistic performance analysis.
