Platina Partners
Platina is an independent European investment firm investing primarily in Private Equity and more generally across asset classes. Private Equity: Our team operates on the French and European lower middle markets typically investing tickets in the range of €5m to up to €30m, while favouring incremental growth and prudent leverage. Key sectors include human healthcare, the silver economy, animal welfare, students and professional education. Growth & Disruption: we focus on the growth stages of venture capital and have specific appetite for investments related to electric vehicles, robotics, AI, blockchain, clean tech, big data, mobility, VR, AR, IoT and mobile. Hotels: alongside an experienced manager, we have developed a strong ability to reposition under-invested and mismanaged lodging into "character hotels" in France as well as in Europe. Renewable Energy: we have been pioneers in the European renewable energy space and have, since 2002, invested in major solar PV and wind projects predominantly in continental Europe and in the UK, opportunistically elsewhere. Principal Investing: we have a pool of permanent capital to be invested opportunistically to serve dedicated purposes from diversification in alternative assets to yield management. Liquid Markets: Evolving from traditional 60/40 models to more diversified portfolios, we generate and manage custom asset allocations to meet diversification and alpha generation objectives.
