News

- 11 June 2004 at 13:22
UK based Athlone International today announced the launch of Athlone Global Emerging Markets (GEM) Fund, extending the investment opportunities driven by The Athlone Group. The new fund will develop investments in emerging markets around the world including Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia and will sit alongside the Athlone Emerging European Growth Fund and the Athlone United Kingdom Distressed Fund targeting telecoms, media and technology investments.

The $3 billion fund will give investors access to one of the most experienced fund management teams in Europe and will extend the geographic reach of the Athlone port folio into actively managing fast moving investments in growth markets.

Jojar S. Dhinsa, CEO of The Athlone Group, heralded the announcement as further evidence of the growth in the size and presence of the company stating ‘clearly we now have the ability and reach to build significant investment funds in new markets around the globe. The team is in place and I am very excited by this launch and the opportunity it provides for Athlone and its investors.’

About Athlone International

Athlone will harness its local and global network of advisors, strategic partners and investors to turnaround and accelerate the growth of investments through significant strategic, financial, and operating enhancements. The key to the proposition is that Athlone is not simply investing money in these companies but is also providing support in areas that are beneficial to the development of the client's business strategy. In fact, an investment is often conditional on providing additional Athlone Group portfolio services to the client.

The Athlone Group builds, markets and delivers a high value portfolio of measurable start up, turnaround and business acceleration services for technology vendors, which positively impact a client’s ability to achieve corporate objectives.

The Athlone approach is to develop ‘free agency’ engagements between the client, Athlone and the Athlone network which are driven by results rather than by political, social or environmental factors leaving the management team free to focus on corporate and personal core competencies.
