Private Investments in Public Equity (PIPEs)

Bryan, Garnier & Co has developed a strong expertise in the private placement of securities for publicly-listed companies. PIPEs demand knowledge of both private and public capital markets and their regulatory regimes, as well as an understanding of investors’ capacity to conduct such investments.

Equity-Linked and Structured Finance

Highly attractive in adverse market conditions, equity-linked instruments allow companies to raise development capital and acquisition funding with a minimum dilution impact. Equity-linked finance is mostly not traded and can be used at all stages of development – whether early-stage, development, or during acquisitions – for both public and private companies.

Direct Secondaries

The Secondaries team advises clients on secondary solutions across private markets, leveraging Bryan Garnier’s extensive resources to deliver tailored and impactful liquidity solutions.
