> Nova Global Markets Group, LLC

Nova Global Markets Group, LLC a subsidiary of Nova Capital Partners, LLC with offices in Johannesburg, South Africa, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Geneva, Switzerland. We specialize in providing investment banking services to middle market clients in Africa, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, India and China. Nova’s professionals have extensive investment and operating experience in these regions and we actively deploy our diverse local-level network of corporate and political relationships on behalf of our clients during a transaction.   

Over the next decade, it is apparent that certain emerging markets, including the ‘BRIC’ countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China will continue their significant growth. Driven by strong fundamentals such as GDP growth, higher income per capita and consistent investment, these countries will become an enormous factor in the future Global economic landscape.

In addition, South Africa is poised for expansion due to it highly developed economic infrastructure, extensive foreign investment and entrepreneurial culture. Despite displaying high growth and proven innovation potential, companies in South Africa and across the African continent are limited by inadequate funding. Nova’s experience in cross border transactions and direct reach into Southern Africa and the United States enable us to add significant value to growing companies throughout Africa.

Many innovative companies in these and other emerging markets have already demonstrated rapid growth. Nova Global Markets Group was largely formed to provide the access to multiple forms of capital as well as the strategic and financial advice that many of these growing companies require in order to compete in the Global marketplace.

Nova Global Markets Group excels at assisting foreign companies seeking access to both the U.S. and European capital markets.

By utilizing our deep relationships with institutional investors in the United States as well as Europe such as private equity funds, hedge funds, insurance companies, and venture capital firms, we are able to raise capital from sophisticated, Globally-minded investors looking to invest in high quality companies outside the United States.

We have the capacity to raise up to US$100 million in capital but we also lead many debt and equity transactions between US $25 million and US $500 million.  Nova Global Markets Group has particular expertise in several industries such as energy, manufacturing, media & communications and technology although we have provided extensive support to clients in other sectors as well.

Nova’s presence in the emerging markets is further augmented with its involvement in New Bridge Venture Partners, LLC, a private equity firm created by Nova and Argil Ventures, LP, with offices in the United States and South Africa.
