Private Capital [Vignettes]
Our private capital has been disbursed either by taking equity positions directly, or else by granting credit facilities and owning options which will permit us to convert debt into equity in the future. Here are some examples of positions we have taken:
Vehicles: We have invested directly in companies which make and repair specialty vehicles; and we have purchased BMW/Renault & Range Rover dealerships through buying the parent company. Most auto dealerships we have, as part of Corporate Doctoring for them: extended credit facilities (various brands of auto, motor bike and agricultural vehicles).
Mining & Manufacturing: We have made direct investments in coal, gold & graphite mining companies. Have extended credit
to mine subcontractor and supply companies. We have funded electronic device mfgrs with debt capital, the same with extrusion molding furniture maker, two machine tool makers, a knitwear manufacturer; and we have made direct investments in two high end accessory makers. Socially: We Lent lots to micro enterprises on 4 continents.
Room & Board
: We have invested debt capital into 16 thousand hotel rooms and equity capital into 260 more. We sunk equity capital in saving then owning a chain of 27 fast food restaurants [We don't claim to be perfect] Socially we funded soup kitchens in many cities - for a higher return.
Travel & Entertainment: We bought up tour operators and a chain of retail travel agencies on each side of the Atlantic at the height of a fuel crisis: and did well. Whith local partners we saved then owned the main historic/touristic sites on a most popular Mediterranean isle.
Then the Govt. changed. We invested in a production company & theatres: to mixed reviews. Encores not likely.. Property & Construction: Through buying up the shares of the companies which owned them we have held private and commercial developments in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and cities in Europe Relatively safe but not very dimensional. The same can be said of the only large construction we held. ElFin Wholesale, Retail & Traders: While we have owned businesses in each of these categories it is safe to say the largest tranche of debt capital we have put out to save companies has been to those engaged in these pursuits. We are probably most open to do more of this.
