Our partnership model allows us to make investments that work effectively for all stakeholders, while at the same time prudently managing risk. Highlights of our investment approach include:

• Fast decision making – our average deal lead-time from start to finish is 90 days with key issues front ended
• Few conditions, representations and warranties in sale documentation – we focus on key risks and material items
• Low completion risk – we complete over 80% of deals where due diligence is undertaken
• High confidentiality with sensitive information, a particular issue with trade bidders
• Opportunity for management equity participation going forward
• Opportunity for vendor to participate in the upside (staged exit)
• Solution to succession issues for vendors, their families and key management
