Our Investment Approach & Profile

We focus on liquidity, utilizing our strategic local partnerships to deliver significant returns.

Eastbridge Al Mal Energy works with intermediaries having “work out” and consulting expertise to offer investment opportunities prior to open market.
We target opportunities with distressed sellers (industry/banking relationships, intermediary relationships, and government relationships) and those that require growth capital, either for new or existing development and that are available for investment at a revised lower valuation.

We target regions in the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and South Asia, seeking strong fiscal and tax regime environments and low lifting costs, always working with experienced operators who have capital and willingness to put risk capital prior to any Eastbridge Al Mal Energy investments.
We invest at valuations based on conservative low oil prices with substantial value only being derived from PDP reserves and PUD reserves.
Our focus is on liquidity, including disciplined exit strategies, asset recapitalizations and sales, as well as entity-level private and public market options.

Capital Preservation: This is always our first priority; and in today”s environment, additionally, we will achieve significant yield and growth.
Current Distributions: For many of our investments, a significant portion of returns will be in the form of current distributions, providing cash-flow immediately and over time.
Capital Return “Priority”: Rather than following traditional private equity and “hedge fund” profit-sharing, our structures ensure full capital return to investors for each investment prior to any incentives to management.
Significant Overall Returns: We target attractive risk-adjusted returns, anticipated to exceed 20% (internal rate of return), including current cash flow distributions and capital gains.
