Investment Strategy

The Company implements an actively managed investment strategy undertaking investments typically into one of two broad investment categories:

Strategic Investments

Strategic Investments are made in entities in which the Company can reasonably expect to exert a degree of influence, including board representation or through playing an active role alongside management in order to enhance or realise shareholder value.

Non-Strategic Investments

Non-strategic investments are made in entities where attractive investment opportunities develop due to market sentiment or mis-pricing or where the Company sees other potential for generating positive returns. In contrast to strategic investments, with non-strategic investments the Company does not envisage that it will take an active role in the management of the investment.

How we invest your money

In executing its investment strategy, the Company may, from time to time, hold a high proportion of net assets in cash, preferring to be patient and selective rather than filling its Portfolio with mediocre or underperforming investments for the sake of becoming "fully invested.

The Company will not be limited to the principles of broad diversification; in other words, the Company may invest a significant proportion of funds in any single investment that represents an exceptional opportunity.

Every investment made by the Company will be continuously monitored and formally reviewed on a periodic basis. The Company will be willing to move quickly to realise investments when a view is formed that an investment is overvalued or there has been a material adverse change in an investment's circumstances or prospects - the Company recognises the importance of being nimble and responsive to material changes affecting its investments.

The Company recognises that in some cases, investments take significant periods of time to provide acceptable returns. As such investments may be relatively illiquid, the Company will seek to minimise potential loss in the investment's value where a rapid or unplanned exit from that investment is sought.

The Company may also decide to dispose of shares in an entity if in the Company's view, maintaining the investment is not in the best long-term interests of the Company or an alternative, superior investment opportunity arises.
