The Situation
Permanent-capital vehicles occupy a difficult position in the capital markets: they require the flexibility and long-term orientation of private capital while meeting the transparency and pricing expectations of public investors. Saltire was built to bridge that gap i.e. investing in public and private markets through equity, debt, and hybrid securities. Managing that model well demands rigorous, ongoing corporate finance work across a diverse portfolio; recapitalization analysis, independent valuation, and strategic options evaluation on holdings with different structures, maturities, and risk profiles.
What Blue Deer Did
Blue Deer has provided Saltire with ongoing corporate finance advisory support including recapitalization analysis, independent valuation work, and strategic options evaluation across portfolio holdings. The work has been analytical and hands-on: assessing capital structure alternatives, modelling outcomes, and helping management evaluate decisions against long-term value creation rather than near-term optionality. Blue Deer’s role is to deliver rigorous, independent analysis that supports Saltire’s own decision-making, not to position the firm to investors, but to help it create the value worth investing in.
The Outcome
Blue Deer continues to support Saltire on an ongoing basis across corporate finance initiatives as the portfolio evolves and new strategic questions arise.
