WE ARE
ADVENT GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES
Advent Global Opportunities is Advent International’s global investment platform focused on a concentrated portfolio of public and select private companies. We are fully integrated with Advent International, one of the world’s leading private equity firms.
Advent Global Opportunities has access to Advent International’s highly differentiated global base of intellectual capital built over 35+ years, which serves as a powerful sourcing engine and provides us with unique diligence capabilities.
We seek to build a concentrated portfolio of high-conviction, high-quality companies with long-term growth potential. Our global thematic portfolio offers sector and geographic diversification and has a strong bias towards small / mid cap companies.
“Differentiated sourcing and diligence driving a high-quality, high conviction portfolio”
Our Strategy
01
QUALITY
We seek to invest in high-quality companies that can compound over a multi-year period. We look for businesses with:
- Long-term, structural tailwinds and a strong and sustainable competitive position
- Business models with sticky customer relationships, large economic moat, and ultimately, pricing power
- Incentivized management teams with a history of successful execution
02
DIFFERENTIATION
Ability to leverage the Advent ecosystem to identify unique investment ideas across public and private markets:
- Focused on subsectors and themes where we have deep Advent institutional insight and the ability to form a differentiated view on a company’s earnings over time
- Privileged access to hard-to-find and overlooked companies (sometimes due to size or geography)
- Exhaustive and multi-faceted research process that looks past near-term dynamics to focus on the long term
03
CONVICTION
Our long-term investment horizon provides a foundation to:
- Build large, concentrated & high-conviction positions
- Play for long-term outcomes
- Take advantage of short-term volatility to resize positions
