Tuesday 23 Jan 18:30 pm- Interest Rates & Private Equity : Be Different

Ascot Investments is thrilled to invite you to meet Francis Bento & his team, a long time friend and partner from Divergent Investments in our offices on the 23rd January 2024.

In 2024, we anticipate a year filled with significant geopolitical events, notably the upcoming US elections and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Additionally, macroeconomic challenges will be prominent, with the battle against inflation likely taking center stage in the actions of central banks. Let’s hear how a fund newly created will navigate in this new world.

Divergent Investments emerges as a forward-thinking private equity firm boasting a 20-year legacy in the industry. Founded by Francis Bento, formerly responsible for Private Equity at Inter-IKEA, the firm has a strategic focus on the Healthspan sector, and targets a €300m fund size.

Divergent expects strong returns in sectors driven by mega-trends like digital healthcare, AI, and the use of technology to grow companies. The current market turbulence offers an exceptional chance to acquire assets at discounted prices.

Although Private Equity isn’t typically the primary focus of “defensive alternatives,” which Ascot Investments has traditionally excelled in, we view this as an excellent opportunity to engage with an exceptional team at precisely the right moment for those capable of timing the market and making investments with a long-term horizon of the next decade.
