BDA Capital Partners

In response to recent press reports, BDA Partners is pleased to confirm that it is exploring an affiliated merchant banking model, BDA Capital Partners. This to-be-established platform will aim to provide equity capital solutions to entrepreneurs and growth companies, initially in Vietnam.  

The new platform will be entirely separate from BDA’s core M&A advisory business and will be led by Bert Kwan, an experienced private equity growth investor in SE Asia. There will be no cross-over of personnel between the investment team of the new platform and BDA’s M&A bankers.

BDA Capital Partners is not raising a third-party fund, but will arrange minority investments of between US$10m-US$20m, to support high quality growth companies.

BDA Capital Partners will focus on opportunities that are far out-of-scope, both in terms of deal type and transaction size, for our key private equity client base whom BDA typically advises on sellside M&A transactions in the US$100m-US$1bn value range. BDA Capital Partners will not participate in such sale processes. As such there will be no conflict or competition for transactions between BDA Capital Partners and our M&A advisory clients.   

BDA’s separate teams of M&A bankers will continue to focus 100% on providing premium, independent, Asia-related advice to sophisticated clients globally, both private equity sponsors and corporates.
