Our business model

While assessing the fundamentals of the business is part of any investment selection, we focus primarily on the people and personalities behind our investments, and we know that true value lies in a management team with spirit, confidence in what it does, and commitment to its business.

We invest in companies and ideas to create long-term value, and our goal in every investment is to provide existing management teams with the financial capital, business expertise, energy and courage to build a sustainable business that delivers long-term value.

Unlike many traditional PE firms, we can support companies from start-ups to established, mid-sized and larger companies looking to grow their business and market share, we are not bound by strict investment criteria and look at each investment on its own merits.

We have a history of investing and operating in some of the world's most challenging regions. We also have entrepreneurial spirit in our founding DNA, so we are comfortable evaluating and investing in unconventional business ventures and see opportunities where others might shy away.

Wherever possible, we aim to create broader value through our investments, investing in many companies in emerging markets and taking pride in creating economic value for both companies and the communities in which they operate.
