EMP is a world-wide private equity firm with the resources and expertise to source, evaluate, and manage private investments globally in both developed and developing markets and across many industrial and commercial sectors.

EMP is manager of -- or principal advisor to -- private equity funds covering Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Islamic countries that span the globe from North Africa through the Middle East and into Asia.  These funds represent aggregate capital commitments of nearly $6.0 billion and several are the largest of their kind in their particular region.  Further details are available under "Our Funds".

EMP's initial focus and one of its continuing core strengths has been investments in "infrastructure" in emerging market economies.   Over time, however, EMP has expanded this focus, allowing us to accumulate investment experience in a wide range of sectors from heavy industry, mining, oil and gas to basic materials and even restaurants.

EMP's broad global experience and the large size of its funds has allowed it to become a prime choice as an investment partner for regional companies and local entrepreneurs.  EMP is also a pioneer in structuring innovative partnerships with international corporate strategic investors.  EMP has partnered with leading international corporations, including Vivendi, Marubeni, and AES in the power sector, AT&T, Orange, and Bell Canada in the telecommunications sector, and Pilkington in the glass industry.

While retaining its headquarters in Washington, D.C., EMP operates from offices around the world through experienced investment teams dedicated to each focus region.  Currently EMP's overseas offices are located in Bahrain, Brunei, Hong Kong.

We summarize this combination of global experience and local expertise in the phrase "Global Leader/Local Partner".   We believe EMP is both a trusted partner for institutional investors seeking to capitalize on global private investment opportunities and a preferred investing partner for companies, entrepreneurs, and international strategic corporate investors.
