is a leading business and investment group based in India and the countries of
the Former Soviet Union. Owned primarily by the Khemka family, who have over a
century of active business experience in India, in a variety of operating sectors
including mining, energy and other core infrastructure sectors, SUN has built
a name for itself as a respected and leading firm in business and investment.
Established in the 1980s to invest in emerging market opportunities through merchant
banking, private equity and investment management approaches in core markets,
the company soon diversified its interests to include direct private equity investment
as well as the establishment of a limited number of specialized private equity
vehicles. While SUN has invested in a variety of markets and geographies, its
core private equity business has been in the emerging markets of India and Russia.
The company focused on establishing geographic and sector-specific private equity
investment firms while leveraging its investment experience and proprietary business
network to provide investment firms with the resources and foresight necessary
to manage the Khemka family's and select institutional investors capital and generate
successful investment returns.
The group's strength lies in its ability
to identify secular trends, invest early and quickly build critical mass. Evaluating
specific business opportunities on the basic parameters of long-term growth potential
of the sector, quality of management skills to address the investment challenges
and the potential for appropriate risk-adjusted financial returns, the SUN group
has worked with emerging markets and emerging technologies to make an impact on
financial returns from investments and catalyze the restructuring of industries.
SUN has also made significant contributions to the development of clear corporate
governance practices and corporate citizenship obligations. | | | www.sungroup-global.com

Real Estate Advisors has been one of the foremost global private real estate investors
for over a decade. William Mack, the founder, has over 40 years of experience
in the industry and is regarded as a leading and respected figure in real estate.
In 1993, the Apollo Real Estate Group was formed in cooperation with the Apollo
private equity funds. The company is a private partnership of real estate professionals
with a rare blend of hands-on real estate experience and sophisticated capital
markets expertise. Apollo has overseen the investment of 13 real estate funds
and joint ventures, investing over $7 billion in more than 350 transactions with
an aggregate value in excess of $30 billion. With offices spread across New York,
Atlanta, Los Angeles, and London, the Apollo Real Estate funds target a broad
range of opportunistic, value-added and debt investments in real estate assets
and portfolios throughout the United States, Europe and Japan. Apollo was one
of the first western real estate investors to enter the developing markets of
Eastern Europe and CIS. It has upheld its pioneering legacy by co-sponsoring one
of the first India-specific real estate FDI funds, SUN-Apollo LLC.
Apollo's
overall investment strategy is based on exploiting the arbitrage between the high
demand and liquidity for stabilized, core real estate assets and the relatively
low demand and liquidity for assets that require strong real estate skills to
improve them. Apollo seeks situations where investments can be made at an attractive
cost basis and where value can be enhanced through intensive operational and financial
management. The company typically sources investments by teaming up with joint
venture partners with excellent access to off-market transaction flow. Apollo
seeks to create value-additions with capable local partners, through aggressive
asset management. | | | | | | www.apollorealestate.com |
