Values
What we hold to.
Productive capital
We judge a business by what it builds in the economy as well as by what it returns. Capital that creates capacity, employment and capability is worth more to this region than capital that simply changes hands.
Conviction
We would rather be excellent in a few sectors than present in many. When we back a business we back it properly, with capital, time and a seat at the table.
Focus
We invest where we understand the business and can be genuinely useful to it. Knowing what we will not do is what makes the rest work.
Speed
Good businesses do not wait. We give a clear answer quickly, and we are as direct about a no as we are about a yes.
Local edge
We are from this region and we operate in it. Our knowledge and our capital are here; our network reaches well beyond it.
Partnership
We do not step back once the money moves. We take board seats, support the operating team, and open the doors we can open.
The region
Why here.
This is where we are from
We are not visiting. The firm, its people and its capital are based here, and the businesses we back are our neighbours as well as our investments.
A region building capacity
The Kurdistan Region and Iraq are investing in the parts of the economy that are not oil, from manufacturing and healthcare to power and digital infrastructure.
Ownership that stays
Businesses here have often been bought and moved on. We take positions we intend to hold, and we would rather be the last owner a good business needs.
