Announcement Follows Most Active Quarter for Capital Placement in Fund's Seven-Year History
CALGARY, AB, Jan. 27, 2021 /CNW/ - Invico Capital Corporation ("Invico"), a Canadian investment fund management firm providing alternative investing and financing solutions in North America, announced today that its signature fund, the Invico Diversified Income Fund ("the Fund"), achieved a record assets under management of over $300 million (as of Dec. 31, 2020).
This milestone achievement was reached just prior to the completion of the most active quarter (Q4 2020) for capital placement in the Fund's history, with deals closed in the energy, real estate, pharmaceutical, and film sectors. While volatility observed in the marketplace over the past year presented challenges and opportunities for fund managers, Invico's ability to maintain inflows of capital resulted in a uniquely strong investing position for the Fund.
"We had a slow start to 2020 with many companies effectively at a standstill as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, we are proud to announce the completion of six transactions in the fourth quarter of 2020," said Allison Taylor, CEO and Co-founder of Invico. "The activity level we experienced in the fourth quarter demonstrates that there are many companies still seeking capital for expansion or acquisitions despite the continued pandemic. We are continuing to diversify the portfolio and are actively seeking additional opportunities to place capital in 2021."
The Fund focuses on lending opportunities between $1 million and $25 million in the form of bridge loans, factoring facilities, and direct ownership of energy working interests and energy-related assets. By offering unique and customized financing alternatives to fit business or transaction requirements, the Fund can assist qualified management teams and corporations in achieving transformative business objectives, such as:
- Structured buyout transactions
- Strategic acquisitions
- Capacity expansions or growth initiatives
- Refinancing
- Non-operated working interest in oil and gas production and energy infrastructure
- Film finance
In addition to the growth of the Fund, Invico also celebrated several milestone achievements in 2020 by reaching its fifteenth year in business and adding over $260 million in assets under management. Invico is looking to build on this success by actively putting the Fund's capital to work and further diversifying its lending portfolio in the coming year.
