We believe in a world of doing well by doing good

We are permanently on the look out for new projects in new markets and sectors that are aiming to create a positive impact on our society and environment.

Our diverse panel of experts aim to connect the dots to accurately predict the trends that will motivate M&A and capital raising agendas of both business owners, project developers, and strategic and financial investors.
We focus on a Multiple Bottom Line
Environmental, economic, social & emotional return principles are integral to all we do
Nothing gives us more satisfaction than developing projects and executing transactions that result in an improved outcome for all the parties involved. Zero-sum games typically don't motivate us: we believe if there ain't a win for all involved, it is likely not worth our time. And the win should imply a material improvement over the existing situation, in terms of hard and/or soft returns. It will likely imply an improvement in our climate, in better social conditions, in a healthier environment, in more tailored educational aspects, in improved health effects, in a less conflictive and happier state of mind. We are convinced that MBL practices result in significant direct and indirect benefits including the creation of goodwill, enhancing morale, commitment with clients and community.
We consider ourselves different
We only engage in transactions and projects where we can create tangible value add
We understand you:
we have worked on both sides of the table
We bring the power of our entire network to you
We know what we can and can’t deliver. If we are not convinced of a successful outcome, we will tell you straight away. We will always align our success with yours.
FICUS is part of a global community of investors, industry experts, and captains of industry. You will have access to, and become part of this network we’ve built over 30 years. We are local where you need your local partner.
We have worked as senior company executives, advisors and external consultants in all type of strategic roles and processes. We have been responsible for acquiring assets and companies, for incorporating acquisitions and merging organizations, and divesting businesses. We have developed projects as owners, acted as strategic advisors and as deal structuring agents.
Challenges drive us to maximize our resources
We expand our view to keep on learning
We will only work with you if we really appreciate each other.
Although we possess a deep knowledge of many sectors, we are constantly analyzing and studying new developments. We acknowledge the fact that you know your business better than we do and try to build further on your foundations: we will use your insights and complement it with our view in our combined pursuit to enrich and optimize results.
Having worked in challenging markets under highly distressed conditions (like Russia and Argentina during their respective crises), we know that it takes the extra step, a constructive mindset, a tool box of creative solutions and hands-on experience to create tailored solutions to your business and projects.
This is motivated by our experience, neuroscience confirms the rationale of this. This might seem egoistic, but it ain’t: it is purely practical. The strength of our relationship will define our probability of success. We will be tested, get through complex negotiations together, need to blindly trust each other, align our interests, read each other’s minds and doing this right, we will be celebrating successful transaction closings together!
