Frequently asked questions
How does Navis source deal flow across Southeast Asia?
The firm runs seven offices in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Singapore, and Sydney, staffed by roughly 100 professionals from 17 nationalities. This dispersed local footprint, combined with the largest operational value creation group in the region, gives Navis access to founder- and family-owned businesses that rarely appear in auction processes run by global banks.
Does Navis invest only in private equity, or does it also operate a credit strategy?
Navis runs two strategies: a private equity arm focused on control buyouts, take-privates, expansion-stage deals, and recapitalizations, and a private credit arm that provides flexible financing to mid-market companies. The credit strategy was built to serve businesses that are not yet ready for an equity transaction, and it also feeds the buyout pipeline over time.
What investment stages does Navis target?
Navis targets expansion-stage, late-stage, buyout, public-to-private, recapitalization, and restructuring situations. The common thread is a controlling position in a mid-market company with strong existing market share, which the firm then professionalizes and expands across Southeast Asia and adjacent geographies.
