1. Investment &  Fund Management

 

Where there are enterprises or investment opportunities where there is an ‘equity gap’ and the project fits a Kilcullen Partner investment criteria, we will support such investments either on an individual basis ourselves or endore and bring in 3rd parties,

 

Relating to funds, the investment criteria of that respective fund must be followed together with Investment Committee approval and where Kilcullen can add value.

ENERCAP

 

ENERCAP  ( www.enercap.com) is a renewable energy fund founded in 2008. It has been successful in generating high returns on investment.

 

The origins from the fund came from an investment Kilcullen made in a renewable energy company in Central Europe which was seeking to raise capital and investment for projects.

 

At the time many global fund managers were moving into the Renewable Energy Sector. Kilcullen met these ‘ global brands ‘ who had raised enormous capital based on their ‘ Brands’ but in actual fact the teams running the funds knew little about the sector, becasue it was a new sector.

 

For this reason, Kilcullen moved our property team and private equity specialists into a new dedicated ENERCAP Fund when we realized that there were many renewable energy investment opportunities throughout the region.

 

Starting with Kilcullen seed funding and private Kilcullen Clients, the fund was closed at €98 m and attracted an impressive group of investors.

 

The fund is now almost fully invested in several projects throughout the Central Europe Region and the fund equity has been valued at close to €200 m and ENERCAP are now exploring exits and/or moving the portfolio into an income fund and also developing a new energy efficiency fund.

 

While founded by Kilcullen Partners, who retain ownership and involvement, this is now a stand alone-business.
