SAB
"Connecting the world's leading executives to select providers of capital through proprietary deal generation."
Silverfern Advisory Board
The Silverfern Advisory Board (SAB) is an exclusive forum that enables senior operating executives across industry sectors to interact with multiple providers of capital and other like-minded executives to identify, finance and build great companies on a global basis.
Who are the Members of the Silverfern Advisory Board?
The Silverfern Advisory Board is made up of accomplished senior operating executives with seasoned track records of managerial and business success from around the world. Members are typically in, have recently held or have retired from senior executive management roles in companies across most major industrial groups that range in size from $100 million to more than $10 billion of annual revenue. SAB Members include current and former:
- Chief Executive Officers
- Chief Operating Officers
- Chief Financial Officers
|
- Presidents
- Executive Vice Presidents
- Senior Vice Presidents
|
Each SAB Member shares a common desire to continue building wealth through successful business endeavor, as well as a desire to do so on market-leading terms through informed interaction with the world’s leading sources of capital. Silverfern, through its extensive relationships and decades of experience with top tier private equity sponsors, asset managers, institutionalized family offices and other investors, puts SAB Members in an advantaged position as opportunities are identified.
What are the Benefits of the SAB to its Members?
The Silverfern Advisory Board affords its Members many advantages over the more traditional “tied” relationship with a single capital provider, including:
- Reduction in the timing and deal concentration risks associated with a single Private Equity firm
- Access to other like-minded and experienced senior management professionals
- Access to additional deal flow generated by other Members, Silverfern and other Silverfern Private Equity relationships
- Optimization of deal terms for SAB Members
- No cost, broad access to The Silverfern Group’s senior deal professionals
SAB – “In the Flow” of Ideas, Transactions and Opportunities
Not only do SAB Members bring ideas and opportunities to Silverfern for development and execution, but the SAB is also a fruitful seeding-ground for opportunities to be brought to other SAB Members. The SAB holds regular “Meet the ManagerSM” dinners and functions, both within the US and internationally, which enable its Members to (confidentially) both meet certain leading private equity firms, as well as to meet and mingle with other SAB Members, again on a confidential basis. Attendance at the SAB Meet the ManagerSM events is at no cost to Members, and is entirely by invitation only, by which they are kept relevant and personal, allowing for maximum one-on-one interaction with the other participants.
Outside of the Meet the ManagerSM events, The Silverfern Group’s senior banking professionals are regularly in market dialog and the business of generating proprietary deal flow and ideas for its merchant banking clients. As such opportunities are identified as may fit the profile of (a) certain SAB Manager(s), such Managers will be contacted directly to consider whether they have an interest in potentially pursuing it themselves, putting each SAB Member in a rich “flow” of deal opportunities.
Confidentiality
The Silverfern Advisory Board does not publish (anywhere) or give out the names of its Members, in all instances without each Member’s prior and explicit consent (for example, when an approach is to be made to a private equity firm for a transaction of which such Member would be an integral part of the Management Team). As maintaining the strictest possible confidentiality on all business matters goes to the core of the business of both Silverfern and the Silverfern Advisory Board, we are confident in being able to keep an individual Member’s membership entirely and completely confidential.
