Investment Philosophy

Alignment: We firmly believe that risking our own capital alongside Investors’ capital invariably allows for a higher degree of custodianship. We therefore invest our own resources, as co-investors, in every fund that we form and manage. We strongly believe that this alignment of interests engenders a higher level of trust from our investors community and brings long-term stability to our organization.

Operational Expertise: We only target sectors of the “real” economy where we as a team have successful experience, or where we can bring on-board such experienced professionals with a reliable, demonstrable track record. Our aim is to help our subsidiaries or associated companies deliver value to our investors, and we strongly believe that to achieve this objective, subject matter expertise is required and we structure our teams accordingly.

Safety of Capital: Irrespective of the individual fund strategy, we aim to be conservative in our investments. While we understand the necessity of risking capital to achieve long-term value for our Investors, we nevertheless firmly anchor our decisions in responsible due diligence, whether on the financial side of an investment, or on the investment’s managerial and operational dimensions.
