Guiding Principles

Geographies

The Arcterra team has provided advisory services throughout North and South America. We are well positioned and experienced in developing and/or less transparent markets. However, we do not limit ourselves to these geographies. We merely limit ourselves to those transactions to which we can add significant value to our clients.

Arcterra's Edge

Acquisitions, dispositions, and strategy development require a specific skillset to execute efficiently, while driving toward the desired results. Our team provides:

• Focus: Real asset specialists, not generalists;

• Presence: Local team, local knowledge, local language;

• Relationships: Professionalism of a large institution, personalization of a boutique;

• Leadership: Principals directly involved in every engagement.

Added value

The real asset sector is generally less transparent and less liquid than other sectors. In addition, emerging markets can have risk factors and hidden costs that are different from those experienced by investors in more developed markets. Arcterra’s team adds value because for each mandate we seek to:

Create Transparency, Reduce Costs, Minimize Risk, Increase Liquidity

• Verify key assumptions and transform obscure data to present a clear image of investment opportunity;

• Demystify key considerations of counterparty through deep understanding of market and assets and clearly communicating expectations;

• Bridge language and cultural barriers and promote timely and consistent contact among all parties;

• Reduce transaction costs through longstanding relationships with high level local and global service providers and intimate knowledge of key transaction terms and documents;

• Provide realistic value and return objectives based on proprietary financial model, local market knowledge and global transaction experience;

• Minimize critical missteps related to purchase or sale of real assets based on our past experience, local knowledge, and contacts;

• Facilitate conflict resolution between buyer and seller to ensure key obstacles are overcome, increasing significantly the probability of successfully closing a transaction;

• Increase exposure of investment opportunities to potential investors through our extensive local and international network.
