Private Markets - Opportunities for Investment
We are always on the lookout for investment opportunities in the private market where we believe we can add significant value to both the company and our investors.
Our focus on private markets is for good reason; the types of businesses we focus on tend to be 'simpler', more transparent, easier to control, and with more reliable and robust income streams. We also look for businesses with more room for incremental improvements in marketing, technology infrastructure, and product line. Perhaps most importantly, valuations are much more favourable and can be structured with more flexible "clawback" provisions, providing faster payback - and less risk - from our investment.
We have a specific focus on automotive trades/services and medical practices, however, we will consider other industries where the business case is compelling.
