Open for business

With the Asian markets off 5%, and the TSX down 4.2% already this morning, I wanted to remind our network that we are still open for business. Whether it be IPOs that have been delayed, weak private valuations (as a result of weak public comps), AWOL public investors, nervous senior lenders, etc., etc.

Each reason is valid, and you can imagine how many folks are dealing with these issues right now. We are in the business of providing growth capital, in good times AND bad.

Despite having led more Canadian mezz / sub / venture debt transactions last year than any firm other than the federal gov’t (see prior post “2007 stats for Canadian Mezz / Sub / Venture debt“, January 17-08), we are still hoping to get a crack at every high quality deal that’s out there.

Ping Amy Olah at aolah@wellingtonfund.com or 416-682-6002, unless you already know a member of our team.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
