Mercury Capital Advisors seeks to engage with the best and most successful fund managers in their respective areas of expertise, while maintaining strong relationships with many of the largest, most established institutional investors in the world. The firm supports this diverse client base by combining its global presence and experience with a bespoke service orientation consistent with the firm’s boutique ethos.
“With approximately 300 years of collective distribution and origination experience, its professionals have senior level backgrounds in alternative investing, mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, high yield, legal, and consulting disciplines.”
Coalescing deal management and advisory practices with a coordinated sales and marketing process, professionals at Mercury work collaboratively to develop and maximise fundraising programmes geared towards helping clients not only grow their assets, but also increase brand recognition. In 2015, Mercury will complement its growth trajectory with the establishment of an electronic portal to initiate access to high-net worth investors through the registered investment advisor (RIA) community.
As a full-service placement agent, Mercury focuses on providing each client with a customised and highly coordinated approach to the fundraising process. This begins with the development and implementation of a targeted marketing strategy tailored to the unique needs of each fund manager.
The firm also assists in the preparation of all marketing materials and data room items, as well as in the execution of the full marketing/roadshow process from fund launch to final closing. Core competencies range from emerging markets, metals and mining, energy, special situations, and power to intellectual property, agriculture, health care, consumer, and technology.
Mercury has extensive experience raising capital for secondaries, co-investments, and direct equity investments. These transactions may be executed in the context of an ongoing fundraising or as a distinct process. The firm has successfully raised capital for a number of these opportunities since inception, providing clients with capital-raising services specific to a variety of different asset classes, in addition to offering strategic advice on deal dynamics, negotiations, and communications.
In addition to fundraising, Mercury also offers standalone advisory services to its general partner clients. These services include a comprehensive review of a client’s portfolio and strategy, guidance on the developments of key marketing and investor due diligence materials, in-depth fund performance analysis, advice on market conventions – including fund structure, terms and other investor conditions – and coaching with respect to presentation style.
Giving back and forging relationships with the community are key components of Mercury’s culture. The firm supports a number of charitable organizations, three of which were founded by Mercury employees or their spouses.
