In today’s political environment, investors understand the impact and involvement of government in private equity.   From direct government investment to regulation to procurement and purchasing, government actions can increase or decrease shareholder value, shape corporate governance and practices, and affect corporate image and brand perception.

Helping investors understand the direction and action of governments, Caddo Associates has organized its investment analysis and services into the following six areas:

Early identification of political and public policy trends can help inform an investment strategy. Through analysis by subject matter experts, we provide our investment clientele with an understanding of future opportunities and risks associated with their business interests. 

We monitor companies where governmental entities are responsible for significant revenue or have a direct equity investment.  By understanding government contracts and equity positions, investors can gain more insight into particular markets, revenue projections, and governance decisions.

Communicating with shareholders requires refined and compelling messaging.  Whether on behalf of management or an investor group, Caddo Associates can help connect with shareholders on matters of corporate governance, shareholder rights, social responsibility, mergers, acquisitions, and divestiture.

Government budget and policy decisions can have direct impact on current operations and future plans.  We monitor and analyze proposed legislative and regulatory measures to identify the practical effects on a variety of different industries.

From proposed agency regulations to implementation, investors need to have a good understanding of risks, past practices, and regulatory attitude toward their particular interest.  Caddo Associates brings first-hand knowledge of issues and regulatory framework to assist clients with assessing the impact of proposed regulatory action and gauging the regulatory environment.
