The Group was formed by Guy Hands in 1994 as the Principal Finance Group of<br />
Nomura International in London. Terra Firma now advises on two funds totalling<br />
assets of USD4.5 billion, having become independent from Nomura in 2002.<br />
The fi rst fund (TFCP I) is made up of assets acquired on behalf of Nomura<br />
when the Group was part of the Japanese investment bank. The second fund<br />
recently celebrated its fi nal close, with slightly over EUR2.0 billion targeted for<br />
acquisition.<br />
Terra Firma pursues a contrarian investment strategy, primarily targeting large,<br />
out-of-favour and asset-intensive companies with strong and reliable cashfl ows<br />
operating in basic service industries. The fi rm has a hands-on management<br />
style, working directly with its portfolio businesses to overhaul operations and<br />
transform strategy. Terra Firma is the successor to Nomura’s Principal Finance<br />
Group established in 1994.<br />
Terra Firma’s responsible strategy has been successfully implemented at the<br />
former German state-owned railway workers‘ fl ats. Under the new name of<br />
Deutsche Annington, and guided by Terra Firma, its fl at privatisation programme<br />
is the most successful of its kind in Germany.<br />
