Core geographies

Local origination

Our origination teams are strategically located in 8 offices across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, allowing us to have a “boots-on-the-ground” presence in key markets. Our team leverages their extensive network and deep relationships to identify and access attractive opportunities that may be overlooked by others. This proactive sourcing approach is integral to our investment strategy and helps us deliver the best possible outcomes for our partners.

Investment Process

Our disciplined investment process is backed by a refined methodology that covers every stage, from opportunity identification to investment execution to exit. Utilizing technology platforms, we centralize the process for accurate data collation and quick decision-making, giving us a competitive edge. With a combination of our methodology, technology, and expertise, our investment process is efficient and well-informed, enabling us to identify and seize opportunities for superior risk-adjusted returns.

Risk Management

Risk management is essential to all stages of the investment life-cycle. Active risk management begins at origination, intensifies with due diligence, is verified in investment committee, stress-tested with documentation and closing, and continues with ongoing monitoring and communication through to final exit.

Governance

We have established multiple committees to ensure oversight over the full lifecycle of each investment including:

  • Board of Directors
  • Management committee
  • Investment committee
  • Conflicts committee
  • Valuation committee

ESG 

We are a proud signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and thoughtfully integrate ESG considerations throughout the investment lifecycle via a robust ESG policy and proprietary risk screening tool.
