Investment Criteria
We source and partner with the most compelling opportunities.
Our core focus is on small and mid-cap funds (“capital constrained opportunities”) where superior investment selection leads to the highest upside potential.
Responsible Investing is an integrated part of our investment process and decision making. We only invest in opportunities where our responsible investing objectives are aligned with approach of the fund managers.
Who we are
- Entrepreneurial – we invest with an entrepreneurial spirit; we don’t shy away from backing teams from day one and partnering with them for the long-term.
- Bottom-up driven – we focus on the fundamentals.
- Open-minded for new strategies and approaches and are willing to take a contrarian approach.
What we look for
- Alignment – we want to create value together.
- Transparency – we value direct, transparent relationships.
- High ethical standards in the stewards of our capital.
As fund investors, we achieve our responsible investing ambitions by aligning ourselves with partners who share the same values and principles. We expect our managers to have an articulated ESG approach and consistently address ESG issues in their portfolios. We encourage our GPs to report on ESG developments within their portfolios and firm.
Within the broad landscape covered by ESG, climate change and diversity are our two key priorities. Therefore, in addition to being signatories of the UNPRI (as of 2017), we are active members of the Initiative Climate International (ICI), a collaboration between GPs to collectively address climate change, and Level20, an initiative to improve gender diversity in the European private equity industry.
