Private Equity

Our team is one of the largest, and most established private equity investors in the world today.

We deploy capital in areas where we can utilise our comparative advantages, namely, a long investment horizon, global presence, sector expertise, as well as skilled, and experienced teams. 

We tap into our advantages to reap excess returns from investments that require longer gestation periods, and operational value to realise their potential. Our investing effort is carried out by a team of in-house investment professionals, organised along regional, and product lines. We conduct in-depth due diligence, and research to identify businesses with the potential to generate good long-term returns. While the bulk of our investments are in developed markets, particularly in North America, and Europe, we also have a meaningful presence in emerging markets.
