About & Experience
Financial expertise. Personal involvement.
UYI Capital is an independent investment-banking firm led by Nissan Dar, advising international fund managers, business owners, management teams and investors.
Nissan is an investment banker and deal maker with experience in equity and debt raising, M&A, infrastructure and project finance. His work combines financial analysis, commercial negotiation and personal relationships with institutional investment teams.
Understand the business and the people behind it
For fund managers, this means understanding the investment proposition and maintaining a substantive dialogue with prospective investors. For company owners, it means considering how a transaction will affect the business, its ownership and the people who have built it.
Nissan’s approach places importance on direct involvement, patient negotiation and practical solutions. In family businesses and succession situations, that includes allowing time for decisions to develop.

Nissan Dar’s experience spans equity partnerships, debt financing, company sales and acquisitions, with companies, shareholders and financial institutions in Israel and internationally.
That experience informs the way UYI Capital approaches each mandate: understanding the objectives, examining the financial assumptions and maintaining a clear commercial focus throughout negotiations.
Particular strength in infrastructure and real assets. Across energy, transportation, water and real estate, we combine cash flow analysis, financing structure and operating assumptions with commercial negotiation, considering asset life, operating performance and financing terms when assessing value and transaction structure.
