Founded in 2009, TMT Capital Partners, LLC is a private investment firm focused on making control investments in middle market and lower-middle market companies.  A significant portion of our time is focused on evaluating direct secondary opportunities.  However, we are also very interested in pursuing other control investment opportunities in companies with unique business characteristics that make them more challenging for traditional investors or investment processes.  In addition, TMT Capital provides financial advisory services from time to time for select opportunities where our experience can add true value to a company as it strives to accomplish its objectives.

Direct secondary transactions are the sale of a portfolio, a portion of a portfolio, or a strip in an underlying portfolio of companies to a secondary market buyer, generally in an expedited, non-intrusive fashion, on an as-is where-is basis.  These transactions tend to involve little to no new independent third party diligence, and provide liquidity to the seller within 60 days.

There are many potential benefits to private equity firms, hedge funds, and other business owners who employ an active portfolio management strategy, which may include the usage of the direct secondary market.  Some of the objectives achieved through direct secondary sales include:

• Liquidity for funds at the tail-end of their life cycle seeking liquidity on remaining portfolio assets

• Divest straggler assets from legacy portfolios, freeing-up management time for more recent investments and new business opportunities

• Cash generation for redeployment in core assets with higher return potential

• Distributions to Limited Partners seeking liquidity options

• Capital and human resource management tool

• Quick transaction with little reliance on financing markets

• Efficient exit process negotiating with one buyer
