INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Our investment philosophy is based on identifying, analyzing and selecting business models deemed to be sustainable and value-creating, with a view to long-term investment. We invest in companies judged to have strong development potential, thanks to their positioning in buoyant markets and strategies geared to growth through innovation, investment in human capital, winning new customers and international expansion.
Our companies have the capacity to become part of a virtuous circle of growth and thus change size considerably in just a few years. Once selected, our ambition is to support the development of these companies and enable our investors to benefit from potential long-term value creation.
INVESTMENT PROCESS
Our process is analytical and disciplined. We only invest in companies that we know and understand, and that we can model and value from a long-term perspective. Working closely with company management and on the ground is at the heart of our investment philosophy, enabling us to gain an in-depth understanding of business models and their development potential.
“Extracting ourselves from market movements by focusing on long-term support for successful business models”.
In line with our vision of long-term investment, we assess the impact of companies on the environment and society, and select those with sustainable growth strategies. Through the type of companies we invest in and our focus on their societal impact, we aim to invest in companies that meet the challenges addressed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
