Approach
Our approach to acquiring and disposing of assets is based around our purpose and values, which combine entrepreneurial spirit and financial discipline.
We begin by looking for opportunities that are aligned with sectors and themes within our interests and look to remain long-term and supportive partners.
We have no set timeline and no requirement to divest of an asset, only sound decisions to drive long-term value for our companies and shareholders.
