Sector Approach

The sourcing and construction of our portfolio is based on a systematic, in-depth approach focused around four key sectors.

Companies operating in large, diverse and fragmented markets, experiencing increased demand for efficiency and driven by technology-enabled growth trends.

Companies driven by demographic factors, limited by public healthcare budget constraints and experiencing increased demand for consumerisation and quality of care.

Companies operating in fast-growing and fragmented markets, experiencing increased demand for consumerisation with emphasis on quality and experiences and are driven by digital innovation trends.

Companies operating in niche markets protected by entry barriers and proprietary technology, possessing attractive expansion opportunities and experiencing an increased demand for sustainable practices.

Our Investment teams are strengthened by our dedicated Operations, Capital Market and ESG teams who are seamlessly integrated throughout the entire investment process to help offer unique perspectives into unlocking value.
