Private Placements

Prudent use of private offerings can position sophisticated investors with an allocation that is generally not correlated to the public markets.

RiverStone committee members comb through a volume of opportunities for projects that meet our criteria, and/or that of our accredited clients and institutional partners. Always opportunistic, these offerings take many forms.

Private Real Estate Transactions and Funds – RiverStone favors real estate projects and partnerships within the fast-growing regions where we have a presence. Projects generally have a compelling story with below-replacement-value purchase price, strong income opportunity while the asset is enhanced and/or developed, as well as opportunity for capital appreciation at disposition. Download our Real Estate Survey and allow us to screen for projects that meet your criteria.

Private Equity – On occasion RiverStone will engage a project to represent an emerging growth or middle market firm with a captivating narrative. When the stars align on such projects the opportunity might be a recapitalization, management buyout, growth investment, roll-up or other interesting strategies. Our accredited investors and institutional clients can expect to see all deal flow, or only those projects for which they may have a particular appetite or interest. Most prefer later-stage or established businesses rather than start ups.

Short term notes and bridge loans – The market for some lending is fragmented and highly inefficient. On occasion RiverStone will engage to facilitate the private funding of short term, collateralized debt instruments. The advantage to the accredited or institutional investors is the security of significant collateral and the opportunity to earn a meaningful, risk-adjusted return over a short period of time.

Special interests – Our client base is diverse, with broad interests. RiverStone Investment Banking often is engaged by accredited and institutional investors seeking projects that fit specific selection criteria. Create your own ‘filter’ through which we can screen opportunities for you. Click here to contact RiverStone Investment Banking to initiate access to deal flow. 

Private placements are not available to non-accredited investors, and even then are not suitable for all. There is not a liquid market for most private offerings and they often involve a high degree of risk.
