How we select investments

We generate a huge number of investment ideas across our global platform. Each of these initial ideas is subject to rigorous assessment by the investment team, who will often call on external analysis to support their deal hypothesis. When the investment is sufficiently well developed, it is brought before our internal investment committees who assess the opportunity based on the criteria below.

 

  1. 1

    Is the company in one of our five sectors of industry expertise?

  2. 2

    Do we have insight into the risks and opportunities for growth?

  3. 3

    Is it within our targeted size range?

  4. 4

    Is it a market leader with potential to grow?

  5. 5

    Is it a global company or does it have the potential to be one?

  6. 6

    Can we add value to the management and governance?

  7. 7

    Is this a sustainable business? Does it meet our sustainable investment criteria?
