Investment Characteristics.

We invest in businesses and assets with strategic qualities that have attractive risk/reward dynamics. The opportunities we invest in often have one or more of the following characteristics:

  • A strong market position in a changing industry and potential to disrupt the value chain.
  • Defensible characteristics and/or high barriers to entry.
  • Provide an essential service or product to end-users and therefor have stable customer relationships.
  • A valuable asset base.
  • Medium to long-term customer contracts.
  • We understand the business, its parameters, the industry it’s operating in and see a value-add potential.


Based on the opportunity and vested in our investment characteristics we target and invest in following key investment themes:
 

  1. Investments in distressed and undervalued companies and assets with remediable challenges, but with strong fundamentals;
  2. Supporting companies and management in carving out non-core operations, setting them up as stand-alone entities;
  3. Supporting companies in need of re-building and re-financing the foundations of their organization (processes overhaul, operational optimization, buy outs) and subsequent investing in innovation and sustainable profitable growth;
  4. Investments in non-performing loans, asset-backed transactions like real estate and real estate related investments.
