Values

What we hold to.

Six principles that decide what we invest in, how quickly we move, and what we do afterwards.

Productive capital

We judge a business by what it builds as well as by what it returns. Capital that creates capacity, employment and capability serves this region better than capital that only changes hands.

Conviction

Depth in a few sectors rather than presence in many, and full commitment where we commit - capital, time, attention and expertise.

Focus

We invest where we understand the business and can be genuinely useful to it.

Speed

We decide quickly and answer plainly, whether the answer is yes or no.

Proximity

We are from this region and we operate in it. Our capital and our people are here; our network reaches well beyond.

Partnership

Our involvement begins at investment rather than ending there. We work alongside the teams we invest in and share the relationships we have built, at the level each business finds useful.

In practice

What that means
for a business we back.

Capital

Funding for growth, flexible in both structure and scale.

Global network

Relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and regulators across the region and internationally, available to every investment.

Operating support

Practical support in the functions that constrain growth, from finance and reporting to hiring.

Governance

Strong governance that moves swiftly and pragmatically, so decisions get made and the business keeps moving.

We would rather be excellent in a few sectors than present in many.
