Investment Strategy
A long standing track record of executing full transaction life cycles
A large part of our investment strategy is to create synergies between our portfolio companies in order to achieve the growth and return objectives for the company and our shareholders.In our endeavor to create success stories out of each portfolio company, we act as advisor and strategic partner.
We strive to adhere to an investment strategy that includes a set of specific investment criteria, a particular investment focus and post-investment support for our portfolio companies.
We believe that nuances of transaction terms and structures could have significant financial impact, and therefore adopt a hands-on approach in transaction execution. We have a long standing track record of executing full life cycles of private equity type investments, from identifying and executing good investment opportunities, creating value in portfolio companies to realizing successful exits over different economic cycles.
