idi EM Partners team has the skills to approach investment opportunities with direct equity investor’s attitude which allows it to relate to and interact closely with its local partners (fund managers, co-investors, entrepreneurs). This not only translates into its ability to source attractive and sometimes proprietary investment opportunities, but also its capabilities to carryout professional and detailed due diligence and to make appropriate judgements according to the local cultures and practices.
