Investment Strategy
Identify the best companies
Our strategy is to identify the most attractive investment opportunities for our investors in the region. We look to create market leaders and capture significant market share in the fastest growing market sectors, focusing on three main drivers of value creation:
- Top-line business growth from strong macroeconomic expansion in our countries of operations.
- Bottom-line growth due to inefficiently-run companies that provide significant opportunity for value creation through improved operations, marketing, finances, customer and focus on quality.
- Multiple expansion as company market values rise due to EU accession and renewed European interest in countries such as Ukraine.
Actively Develop Our Investments
We focus on consolidation, expansion, restructuring opportunities and value creation through the active development of portfolio companies. We invest in private equity opportunities, acquire control, and take an active, hands-on role in the management of our funds’ investments.
Focus on People
We strive to attract, develop and retain the best team of professionals in both our own company and our portfolio companies through excellent compensation, motivation and professional development opportunities for employees and partners.
Identify Clear Exit Opportunities
We pursue private equity opportunities with a clear exit potential in three to five years. Such exits may be to Western strategic and/or financial investors, Eastern strategic investors such as Russia, and potentially through public offerings in the West.
