Does your
bank want to increase its capital reserves and shed non-performing, non-core
illiquid assets without booking a material write-down? If the answer is yes, we
would like to discuss doing business with you.
Our firm,
Vox Equity Capital (“Vox”) is poised to address and
favorably facilitate the disposition of investments made by banks in private
equity, venture capital, buy-out and mezzanine funds or directly in operating
companies.
Vox is a specialized private equity fund
manager that has been purchasing bank private equity portfolio (or
"merchant banking") investments since 2006. Vox offers a proprietary
methodology and platform to transact constructed bank private equity portfolios
for purchase and subsequent management.
Vox works with banks that desire to divest
some or all of their non-core holdings acquired after the passage of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GBLA"). GBLA opened up new opportunities for
commercial banks to enter and expand their merchant banking activities. For the
most part, during a prior period, these activities were lucrative if not
spectacular. Today, many banks are reconsidering their exposure and involvement
in merchant banking and other tertiary businesses. Vox helps a bank focus
on core banking business, increase tier 1 capital reserves and do what they do
best.
