The Private Equity Sponsor Coverage Group (PESCG) is part of Scotiabank Commercial Banking and offers financial solutions to Canadian private equity sponsors and to U.S. sponsors considering Canadian acquisition opportunities. Private equity sponsors are characterized as investors in other companies that facilitate buyouts, mergers and acquisitions or future growth.

PESCG’s focus is on mid-market leveraged buyout or recapitalization transactions utilizing our strong leveraged finance capabilities and broad industry expertise. In Canada, we bring expertise to transactions in the transportation, basic manufacturing, energy, health care, media and communications, and technology as well as precious metals sectors.

PESCG has underwritten or arranged senior debt financings for many of the leading mid-market private equity funds in Canada. Additionally, Scotiabank’s M&A and investment banking groups have sourced acquisition opportunities for buyout funds as well as provided buyout funds with exit opportunities for portfolio companies.
