Our approach
We target markets, sectors and geographies that are supportive of private equity and venture capital
We invest in deep markets, using our expertise and experience to identify high quality opportunities. We maintain a growth mindset and focus on transformative and innovative companies in stable markets.
We focus on company building and formation rather than leverage
Private ownership can provide a more nurturing environment in which to build companies and enhance their performance. Smaller companies, supported by secular growth and underpinned by long-term themes, generally offer greater alpha generation.
Accessing innovation tailwinds and company formation with diversified portfolios across thematics, stage and end markets.
We prefer sustainable capital structures and do not rely on financial engineering for returns.
We look for thematic tailwinds
We look for growth that is not reliant on economic or financial market cycles. By understanding long-term themes across sectors and regions, we can identify the long-term drivers of growth and returns that are independent of short-term market movements.
We prefer investment theses based on demonstrable growth opportunities and clear operational improvements, and partner with managers who thrive in solving problems and creating simplicity from complex situations.
We access high quality manager relationships
We take advantage of making concentrated investments alongside global, best-in-class managers. We have the scale to be important partners, while retaining our ability to be highly selective in relation to our investments.
Adopting a resilient holistic approach to investing, that incorporates ESG as a value driver
Identifying catalysts for company improvement is at the core of private equity investing. This approach means we are distinctively positioned to have a positive effect on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) outcomes. Done well, proactive ESG management can be a material and positive driver of returns.
