Private Equity
Strategies

Funds under our private equity (PE) strategy invest in high-performing private companies resulting in majority or minority ownership stake in those companies. The return streams are frequently, much less correlated with indices than the returns available in classic public market investment opportunities.
Long Only
Strategies

The investment strategy is focused on delivering absolute returns for investors over the medium to long term, with a strong bias towards capital preservation by executing a carefully crafted long only strategy.
Alternate
Strategies

The strategy involves investing in listed equities as well as equity derivatives through Alternate Investment Funds (AIFs) to produce absolute returns with lower volatility than the overall stock market.
