What we do
We have over two decades of experience in working with clients to gain access to high-quality managers in difficult-to-access segments and geographies. In doing so, we have refined an approach to partnership that enables clients to choose their own level of portfolio discretion, allowing the relationship to evolve with the clients' needs. Clients have been partnering with us for over 25 years because of:
- High-quality assets – we build portfolios of high-quality assets, managed by teams that generate returns from business transformation rather than leverage. Our structured and disciplined investment process is designed to select the best private equity investments for maximizing returns and managing risks.
- Proprietary insights – we follow a diligent investment process that leverages proprietary insights rather than common market knowledge. We achieve this through detailed, bottom-up analysis of specific opportunities and top-down evaluation of market dynamics.
- Outstanding network of relationships – our reputation as a reliable and thoughtful counterparty for managers, investors and others allows us to maximize high-quality and often proprietary deal flow. We maintain a broad funnel of both existing and future investments and constantly cultivate new relationships to ensure we capture the full opportunity set in global private markets.
- Prudent diversification – we aim to prudently diversify portfolios, while maintaining a consistent approach throughout the investment cycle, carefully monitoring investments. We also maintain close relationships with managers post-investment to further mitigate risk.
Private Equity
We capture complementary opportunities across primary funds, secondaries and directs.
Venture Capital
We have been an active investor in the evolving venture capital landscape for more than two decades. Our diversified venture capital strategy aims to achieve capital appreciation by investing in a global portfolio of high-quality, established managers complemented by highly promising emerging managers, as well as a selection of category-winning growth stage companies through co-investments and secondary transactions.
Private Credit
We provide differentiated access to wide-ranging credit investments.
Real Assets
We have been offering real assets solutions to our clients since 2013. Our strategies focus on alternative income and capital growth and aim to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns with downside mitigation in any market environment.
