Baker's dozen boosts buy-out business

Article Abstract:

Candover Investments, with assets of 42.9 million pounds sterling and an investment fund of 319 million pounds sterling, is the only publicly traded management buyout group in the UK. According to founder Roger Brooke, Candover is the only company in the UK dealing exclusively in buy-outs and buy-ins and the company's specialty is leveraged buyouts. Brooke listed the company in 1984 in order to receive investment trust status and capital gains tax exemptions. The company's advantage over domestic competitors is that it does not need to syndicate the required equity due to its large capital base.
