Grispeth Holdings Launches Boutique Investment Advisory Suite for Emerging Markets

Services connect private equity investors to hyper-growth markets; provide access to financing for companies overseas.

New York, NY, February 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Grispeth Holdings, LLC today announced the launch of an integrated group of companies focused on project and venture finance in Russia, Eastern Europe, Central & South America, and Asia.

The firm recently completed financing for three companies to provide high net-worth investors with access to alternative investment opportunities in hyper-growth markets, and to provide advisory and financing capabilities to private firms:

--Grispeth Advisors assists in the placement of private equity investments in growing economies. Targeted towards investors who wish to diversify their portfolio and capture wealth opportunities outside of listed markets, the firm specializes in introducing alternative investments with the highest growth potential.

--Grispeth Capital Management supplies funding and cash management services to clients of Grispeth Advisors. The firm offers the opportunity for private investors to capture additional, short-term capital appreciation during project rolls, escrow periods and other liquidity events.

--Grispeth Ventures sources large-scale deals, principally in infrastructure, energy, finance and technology, bringing buyer and seller together with advisory and capital introduction services.

Grispeth CEO Jeffrey Brown explains the unique value proposition behind Grispeth Holdings. ”Most of the high-profile private equity investment opportunities right now are with U.S.-based projects and firms, which are currently in a slow and even negative growth cycle. Grispeth connects investors directly to international opportunities in markets that promise greater capital appreciation.”

“Grispeth also serves as a trusted advisor to clients seeking principal shareholder diversification, financing, and acquisitions for both private and government projects, through the wealth of relationships we’ve built globally,” Brown adds.

Hilary Bergman, President and CEO of Pelion Securities Corp., agrees that Grispeth is filling a niche for targeted, relationship-driven venture finance in markets not traditionally served by global banks, brokers or funds. “Grispeth is focused on delivering value to a segment of the market that is severely underserved due to the current economic climate,” Bergman affirms. “Combined with their ability to manage short-term cash in times of project rolls or escrow, they are uniquely positioned in the marketplace.”

Grispeth Founder and CEO Jeffrey Brown has extensive experience in trading and alternative investments, and has been quoted frequently in industry publications around the world. Brown previously headed Global Sales at Townsend Analytics/Lehman Brothers, where he built its institutional and international client base after having sold a financial information company that he founded to the firm in 2001.

Grispeth Ventures has already begun work on a satellite project in Eastern Europe, as well as insurance privatizations in Central America. Grispeth Capital Management has been running its trading programs since 2008 while developing central funding and cash management programs soon to be deployed. Grispeth Advisors is reviewing its first private equity fund for investor consideration.
