We evaluate specific opportunities against the following investment criteria:
people – exceptional entrepreneurs who can sustain their vision of a business, and managers with outstanding execution skills
platform – proven business models, sustainable competitive advantages, market leadership status or the potential for this, demonstrated consistency in earnings generation and operating cash flow, and a conservatively geared balance sheet
value, risk and alignment of interest – fairly priced businesses, regardless of market sentiment, and investment structures that align our interests with those of the business and its other owners over the long term
business ethics and governance – we and our principals adhere to the highest standards of business ethics and governance. We will partner with businesses that hold themselves to equally high standards.
