Asset Management and Capital Markets Advisory Firm

Fiduciary responsibility is more than just generating adequate returns, it’s also positively impacting the communities that the investment dollars originated.

We at Hidden Equity Capital LLC strongly devote ourselves to the belief that the goal of investors through investment banking should not only be to generate a substantial return on their investment, but also to bring about and encourage positive growth and change in the needy communities. Specifically, minority and women owned businesses are underserved financially and are in need of proper funding in order to grow and succeed.

In any given year, less than 2% of all available private equity is invested in minority firms, despite the fact that minorities represent approximately 30% of the population today. This is why we feel that it is so crucial to focus our investment banking services on providing private equity to these underserved communities, which include small businesses owned by women and minorities. With our devotion to directing venture capital to this underserved segment of the communities, we hope to generate growth, wealth, and creation.

In the United States and world wide, the private equity market has been growing steadily since the 1970’s. Therefore, this type of investment has become an increasingly important source of capital for many individuals and firms. Hidden Equity Capital has the resources and industry knowledge necessary to advise investors in making smart, profitable private equity investments. This knowledge allows us to pinpoint and take advantage of investment opportunities in both United States emerging domestic markets and underserved global markets. We then pair each private investor with an emerging business, which we believe will have great success. This process provides the investor with the greatest absolute return on their investments.

With the strong relationships that our company has built and maintains with both investment groups and businesses in undeserved markets, we are able to provide successful, profitable investments. Hidden Equity Capital provides absolute return investment products. The absolute return is the return that an asset provides over a certain period of time. It does not take in to consideration other factors, but instead seeks to make positive returns by employing investment management techniques. Also, our fees are typically much lower than that of an investment bank because investment banks have higher retainer-fees without a guarantee of financial success. This reduced fee structure results in a greater net profit for you, the investor.

Hidden Equity Capital is itself, minority owned. This helps us to understand the frustrations of a minority or women business owner, and therefore, better reach our clients. We use this knowledge of the underserved community to assess individual cases and deliver high quality absolute returns with market-like risk. This community-oriented approach to private equity investing allows investors to have a significant positive impact on the underserved, urban communities.

There are boundless amounts of money being transferred in today’s market through private equity and capital ventures. There were several private equity purchases in excess of thirty billion dollars during 2006 and 2007 alone. Therefore, if the situation is right, a small firm can surely raise the capital that they require through this process. Hidden Equity Capital provides financial advice and consulting to small and medium sized companies with minority and women owners to determine what type of funding is best for their particular financial situation. This investment consulting helps firms decide whether the best option for funding is to seek private investment, traditional loans, asset based loans, or factoring. We also have teams of financial experts to educate firms with minority and women owners on how to best present their business plan to potential investors. Finally, we use our network of connections with investment groups to get small firms in front of investors and bypass the initial gatekeepers, which traditionally are the largest challenges.
