Buy-side on complex assets
When the deal calls for sharp industrial reading, independent assessment of routinely underestimated risks, and surgical negotiation on SPA, earn-out, and W&I insurance.
For funds, family office investors, and financial sponsors
We work with funds, family office investors, and financial sponsors when fast analysis, defensible materials, and execution oversight are required. We engage on buy-side, add-on, carve-out, acquisition financing, portfolio support, and exit.
Typical scenarios
When the deal calls for sharp industrial reading, independent assessment of routinely underestimated risks, and surgical negotiation on SPA, earn-out, and W&I insurance.
Sector consolidation platforms, target identification, scouting, and coordinated execution across multiple parallel transactions.
Competitive or bilateral processes with the right counterparty selection, asset positioning, and institutional-grade materials.
Recurring advisory on portfolio companies: debt restructuring, divisional carve-outs, preparation for a liquidity event.
Our approach
Deliverables on sponsor timing, not corporate timing. Turnarounds compatible with tight investment committee deadlines.
Materials defensible before senior ICs and institutional LPs. Transparent methodologies, traceable sources.
From preliminary valuation to closing, continuous oversight. The same senior team stays with the dossier from start to finish, with specialists activated under Montesino's coordination.
No structural conflict of interest, dedicated confidentiality protocols for sponsors competing on parallel deals.
