Mantra Investment Partners

About The Fund

Mantra Investment Partners is an investment firm that engages in niche private equity, listed private equity, and secondary transactions. With a focus on atypical opportunities, the firm primarily targets segments offering outsized returns and partners with experts to delve into industries less correlated with traditional strategies. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Paris, France, Mantra Investment Partners takes a thematic-driven approach, concentrating on compelling sub-segments within various niche markets. They invest globally, managing capital through funds and tailored programs. Their investment scope includes intellectual property, life insurance settlements, oil & gas, mining & minerals, litigation funding, technology related to water, agribusiness and farming, shipping & aircraft leasing, timber, and royalty strategies. Mantra is known for its structured transactions to uncover value in overlooked or hard-to-access markets, specializing in areas considered inefficient or uncorrelated to conventional markets. Their investment practices are distinguished by structured primaries with proactive partnerships and shortened cycle times; situational secondaries that are opportunistic and require complex due diligence with limited competition; directs/co-investments where they engage in conviction plays alongside fund general partners (GPs), independent sponsors, and best-in-class GP stakes for developing talent and providing strategic advice. The team at Mantra includes professionals and senior advisors with extensive experience, each bringing in-depth knowledge of the firm's specialized investment areas. Mantra Investment Partners operates with a vision to operate off-the-beaten track, aiming to work in acyclical sub-segments with a focus on small to lower-end funds, and is guided by a sense of corporate responsibility with sustainability-related disclosures and policies in place.
