Thomas McDonald, senior vice president of Equity International, is considering an investment in the Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa. Was this the correct state? The company that is right? The right co-investor? The right time? McDonald would be investing GP Investments, alongside a Brazilian private equity firm, and must decide the best way to structure the investment.
Especially, he must decide how to align his interests with those of GP. GP has recruited EI due to its earlier experience with the Mexican homebuilder Homex. McDonald must also consider: Is that expertise transferable to this investment?
