Our Values

From our founding, we have held to the conviction that there is a different way for an investment firm to create value. Our commitment to create lasting impact means that we work differently, tenacious in our desire to unearth the fundamentals that drive businesses over the long-term.

We believe in:

- Innovation and delivering outstanding results
- Trust, honesty and integrity
- Focusing on solutions and overcoming barriers
- Delivering service excellence
- Our creativity and knowledge of emerging markets and experience stimulates success. We build lasting relationships based on trust and continued innovation.
- Most importantly, we remain a business which prides itself on traditional family values and discretion.

We are constantly expanding and diversifying the types of companies we invest in; apart from our core investments, we have also invested in promising technology companies that have shown great promise. We aim to deliver superior investment performance that meets or exceeds our clients' expectations with an appropriate level of risk.

Our investment philosophy encourages us to be more agile as active managers we seek to add maximum value for our investors. We're also more decisive; focusing on what matters and implementing decisions quickly and more flexible; as we look for opportunities to deliver returns across all our investments, rather than tying ourselves to a single investment style, such as value, growth or momentum.

We seek to partner with and invest in high-quality businesses with strong and defensible market positions. These types of businesses tend to have the following characteristics:

Outstanding, committed management teams

- Experienced, successful, and ambitious teams demonstrating deep industry insight.
- Management with "skin in the game" investing alongside us.
- Strong, positive corporate culture.

Industries with attractive fundamentals

- Compelling long-term industry fundamentals.
- Minimal risk of obsolescence and disintermediation.
- Meaningful barriers to entry.
- Attractive return on invested capital.

Companies with good revenue and cash flow growth potential

- Healthy operating margins.
- Opportunities to implement operational value creation initiatives.
- Predictable and growing cash flows.

Differentiated companies with global potential

- Demonstrated market leadership.
- Strong brands and intellectual property.
- Competitive advantages that provide the ability to withstand material changes in the economic environment.

Our flexible approach is well-suited to management teams and owners seeking a value-added and long-term partner. In this role, we often provide strategic and operational support, relationships, capital to fund growth initiatives, and a more conservative approach to leverage.
