Gavilon and General Atlantic:  Extending a Leading Agriculture and Energy Platform

In June 2008, GA invested in Gavilon, formerly ConAgra Trade Group, a leading provider of merchandising and distribution for agriculture and energy resources.  Gavilon is at the nexus of multiple global macro growth drivers and represents GA's first investment in Energy & Resources.

GA is actively leveraging the firm's geographic footprint, network of relationships and expertise in financial services and business solutions to assist the management team in building a global agriculture and related energy resources platform.
