Our flexible investment approach is focussed on private equity strategies, but we are sector agnostic and opportunistic.
Deal size and structure
Our typical equity cheque is in the region of $2m to $30m, with a ‘sweet spot’ of $5m to $15m. We are not constrained by deal size and can invest as a sole investor, lead investor or as part of a syndicate. We normally invest in deals with an Enterprise Value of up to $100m, although we can and do participate in larger transactions. We do not invest, raise, or manage third party capital – we speak directly for the monies we invest. We want to have influence and visibility on how our capital is invested. Stewardship of our capital is important, so we work with a range of high-quality advisers with skills and experience tailored to each transaction.
