In May 2012, XENON, as the Manager of Rusenergo Fund, led a consortium of investors including VEB's Russia Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), the Macquarie-Renaissance Infrastructure Fund (MRIF) and AGC Equity Partners, to acquire a 26.4% stake in ENEL OGK 5, a leading Russian power generation company. The transaction was awarded Finance Monthly’s Deal Maker of the Year 2012 award. ENEL OGK 5 is managed by the Italian utilities conglomerate ENEL and counts the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development as a minority shareholder.

XENON's independent Corporate Finance Team has been advising high-profile clients in strategic, multi-billion dollar transactions by providing creative solutions in complex and critical mandates.  Since inception, the Corporate Finance Team has established itself as a leading financial advisor in Russia.
