WE EMBRACE A LEAN
AND AGILE APPROACH
While our preference leans towards equity investments, we possess the flexibility to invest across the entire capital structure of a project, including mezzanine, debt and equity financing. Our lean and flexible operational setup allows us to make swift decisions and offer prompt feedback.
In contrast to institutional funds, we avoid navigating multiple committees for consensus to secure necessary approvals. Instead, we answer to a single shareholder who plays a pivotal role in decision-making and collaborates closely with the senior leadership team.
In the context of our real estate development projects, we delegate day-to-day operations to our development partners, allowing them to execute their strategies and make operational decisions without micromanagement, which is essential for fostering innovation and agility.
