WHAT WE DO
We provide financial analysis and strategic services in support of our family’s global real estate and investment portfolio. The range of asset classes we evaluate includes hard assets, partnership interests, and control and minority stakes in private and public companies.
Within the alternative investment sector, we actively allocate to private equity, hedge funds, managed futures, commodities, venture capital, and private growth-stage and seed-stage companies. In addition to public and private equity markets, we also focus on generating absolute returns using liquid instruments in the foreign exchange, interest rates and credit markets.
Our outlook is global in nature and evaluates opportunities driven by a variety of economic, secular, and structural themes.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
We seek to identify businesses with strong cash-flow generative characteristics, growth opportunities and positive returns. We follow a value-oriented investment approach supported by intensive fundamental research, which enables us to invest in strong but undervalued companies around the world.
Our specialty is in identifying opportunistic, often contrarian investment opportunities by recognizing market anomalies and emerging patterns. We do so through the employment of sophisticated financial models and analytical tools to reduce risk and maximize opportunities. This investment philosophy is enhanced by a strong risk management culture.
