Principles of Partnership

At the heart of our business are our business partners: the entrepreneurs and management teams we back; the investors in our funds; the advisers and intermediaries we work with and the banks and other lending institutions. We are fully committed to responsible investing and are a committed signatory of the PRI.

Highly Ambitious

We only work with strong, entrepreneurial management teams. We take an active and supportive, partnership-led approach. We strive to build world-class businesses to generate superior returns for our investors.

No Bureaucracy

We are a relatively small, focussed team of investors and experienced operators. The entrepreneurs we back deal directly with decision makers. They are not required to endure pointless bureaucracy.

True Partnership

Our investments are founded on partnerships. We make decisions through consensus in an open and transparent manner.

Strong Alignment

Our interests are aligned with our investors and those we back. We invest a significant portion of our own personal capital alongside our funds.
