Discount Capital offers its partners significant advantages:
Direct Investments Discount Capital invests directly in the equity of Israel-based private and public companies, and seeks an active minority position (up to 20%) alongside a controlling management group.
Discount Capital invests in stable companies with strong management, a defined competitive advantage, and an articulated strategic direction towards growth.
As a valued partner, Discount Capital’s investment professionals usually join the company’s board and utilize its network, financial expertise and market endorsement to support management in accelerating the business.
In recent years, Discount Capital has collaborated closely with Discount Bank’s Strategy & Innovation team to invest in promising FinTech companies and ventures.
Investment Funds Discount Capital invests in a variety of investment funds – private equity, venture capital, growth, infrastructure, impact, and more. Over the years, Discount Capital has been an anchor investor and a favored limited partner in some of the highest performing funds worldwide. Discount Capital’s investment team constantly seeks to expand its investment funds portfolio and therefore evaluates dozens of new funds every year in Israel and abroad.
Mezzanine From 2017, Discount Capital also operates in mezzanine, aiming to bridge the gap between senior lending and equity investments. Mezzanine is ideal in situations where bank financing is not adequately available, thus mezzanine replaces part of the equity in a less dilutive form.
Discount Capital provides mezzanine finance to companies and ventures across a wide range of industries to support growth, finance acquisitions (including leveraged and management buyouts), bridge cash flow gaps, or achieve recapitalization.
Discount Capital prides itself upon being a creative and experienced financial partner, able to offer sophisticated and tailor-made financial structures, either as a sole arranger or as part of a syndicate.
In some cases, Discount Capital joins forces with Discount Bank to bring its partners a full range of financing solutions, including senior debt, mezzanine, and equity.
