All proposals submitted will be evaluated by the Investment Team and subject to final approval by the Board of Directors (“Board”) of ENASARCO.

All proposals must be received by Enasarco no later than End-of-Business day, Tuesday 30th of April 2024. Late proposals cannot and will not be accepted.

  • The short list managers will be involved in special meetings at the end of which a score will be assigned to each candidate.
  • Finally – and again with reference to the short list – the economic offers (including all direct and indirect costs) will be evaluated and a legal due diligence on the Lpa will be carried out.
