Diversified Fund Exits

Every private equity relationship includes an exit from the investment.

A strategic exit is a part of a SaskWorks investment - and planning for an investment's exit begins in conjunction with the initial due diligence. SaskWorks exits are targeted to occur when the highest returns should be realized by the Fund.

Ideally, exits are planned for 5-7 years after investment, when companies have realized or surpassed the potential they were striving for when they first began their relationship with SaskWorks. An exit may come through re-financing, through sale of the company, or the company may be operating through its own capital, so an exit is typically a positive phase of the growth of any company.

SaskWorks is proud to have been a part of the development and growth of these companies:
