Matador Partners Group AG: Strong investment success in the Corona year

The 2020 pandemic year was a new stress test for the private equity secondary market, which, like the 2008/09 financial crisis, was successfully completed with positive returns. The Matador Partners Group portfolio also passed the test, with the result that the company generated net income from fund investments of CHF 2.8 million, adjusted for currency effects. This roughly corresponds to an imputed return of 14 percent. It even exceeded the assumed average return of 12% in the covid year. Further significant expansion of the portfolio and dynamic profit growth are now expected. On this basis, the price target has increased from CHF 3.90 to CHF 4.75. This means that the share, which was also very stable in the turbulent past year, currently offers further upside potential of more than 20 percent. SMC Research has therefore upgraded the Matador Partners Group AG share from “Speculative Buy” to “Buy”.

• Private equity specialist joins group of international co-investors
• Underlyings are several funds and a co-investment
• Base scenario provides for a return of 12.2% p.a.

Matador Partners Group AG, which specialises in secondary private equity, has participated as a co-investor with a USD 10 million commitment in an international secondary infrastructure transaction, together with the French investment company ARDIAN as lead investor.
