Delta Private Equity Partners seeks to realize competitive returns by investing in quality companies that are providing the goods, services and technologies to meet the rapidly-growing demand in the vast developing market that is today’s Russia. Our focus is on investment in sectors where we have proven experience. These include mainly, though not exclusively, three of the most dynamic market sectors in the country:
Consumer Goods and Services
We believe that with a population of approximately 145 million and an area spanning 17.1 million square kilometers, Russia is potentially a vast consumer market as consumer confidence increases and incomes rise. Many segments of the consumer goods market are positioned to grow rapidly over the medium term, driven by steady growth in personal incomes and the associated increase in consumer demand.
Telecommunications, Media, Technology (TMT)
In the TMT sector, DPEP focuses at present on two goals: tapping into the rapidly-growing domestic market for media, information technology and telecommunication services; and leveraging Russia's rich scientific base into broad commercial applications. We invest in companies that are capable of providing services and technologies to meet the growing demand in this underserved sector.
Other areas of high potential value, including selected areas of financial services
Delta’s team has demonstrated outstanding achievements in this sector. At a unique moment in history when Russia lacked any non-state-owned consumer credit institutions, Delta was able to launch such entities as Europlan (formerly DeltaLeasing), DeltaBank and DeltaCredit Bank. As the companies matured, Delta found the strong international strategic partners for each of them, namely Baring Vostok for Europlan, GE Consumer Finance for DeltaBank, and Societe Generale for DeltaCredit Bank.
DPEP does not invest in natural resource industries and privatizations.
