1 Overview
1.1 What are the most common types of private equity
transactions in your jurisdiction? What is the current state of the
market for these transactions? Have you seen any changes in the
types of private equity transactions being implemented in the last
two to three years?
The most common types of private equity (PE) transactions in
Russia are angel investing, venture capital and minority
investments in portfolio companies. Private equity investors also
continue to have a strong interest in distressed investments, which
are still popular to an extent.
Notwithstanding the uncertain economic conditions over the last
years, a reasonable level of PE activity remains, as investors with
substantial amounts of undeployed capital continue to seek
opportunities in the region. The PE market remained, however, the
same.
