Our Investment Principles
- We aim to build a portfolio of businesses that collectively deliver a steady dividend stream over time.
- We are long-term investors. We prefer to have controlling interests in our businesses and to manage them for long term growth. We do not rule out minority investments in appropriate circumstances.
- We concentrate on businesses where we can contribute expertise, and where our expertise can add value.
- We invest in businesses that provide high-quality products and services and that are leaders in their markets.
- We divest from businesses which have reached their full potential under our ownership, and recycle the capital released into existing or new businesses.
