Connecting Opportunity With Capital.

Significant transactions require more than opportunity. They require structure, disciplined due diligence, credible counterparties and financial institutions capable of supporting complex international transactions.

The transaction pathway

Five Deliberate Stages.

Every opportunity SWEP advances follows the same disciplined sequence, from the first identification of an opportunity to the coordination of its execution.

  1. Origination

    Identify strategically important opportunities.

    Opportunities are considered for their strategic significance, their commercial logic and their fit with SWEP’s areas of focus.

  2. Assessment

    Evaluate commercial fundamentals, counterparties and project requirements.

    Early assessment establishes whether an opportunity merits the time and resources required to progress it further.

  3. Structuring

    Develop an appropriate investment, financing or partnership structure.

    The structure is designed around the opportunity, its risks and the requirements of each participant, rather than fitted to a template.

  4. Due Diligence

    Conduct legal, financial, commercial and regulatory review.

    Review proceeds with qualified professional advisers and is completed before commitments are made.

  5. Execution

    Coordinate qualified stakeholders through documentation, financing and implementation.

    SWEP’s role in execution is coordination: bringing the right participants together and keeping the transaction moving toward completion.

Every transaction remains subject to due diligence, legal and regulatory review, contractual documentation, internal approvals and applicable law. References to capital relationships are not a guarantee of financing or completion.

Strategic discussion

Discuss an Opportunity in Confidence.

For qualified counterparties, SWEP can facilitate a confidential preliminary discussion before progressing to appropriate due diligence, information exchange and formal documentation.
