Our Approach
While weighing risks and returns tends to be an investor’s primary decision-making benchmarks, we believe that sustainable investment has to be earned. We take a holistic approach to Alternative Investment opportunities bringing together investors, developers, operators and other stakeholders for
optimised performance and sustainable financial outcomes guided by ESG
imperatives through the following steps.
- Understanding Expectations
- The Key Starting Point of our engagement is
understanding
the perspective, expectations and requirements of our clients and asset owners.
- Establishing Priorities
- We focus on the selection, appraisal and validation of sound investment opportunities, their financial return, environmental impact, social benefits, economic significance and governance effectiveness and integrity. We screen and shortlist a number of opportunities that correspond to your investment criteria and grade them in your order of
preference.
- Best Practice
- We apply a systematic review and analysis aided by proprietary expert systems and best practice honed by many years of sector specific
experience.
- Valuation
- We use a number of established valuation methodologies to determine a valuation range that yields the
anticipated return
on investment taking into account risk and rewards parameters whilst remaining within tight UN guidelines for sustainable investment
- Appraisal and financial modelling
- We combine tried and tested, commercial, technical, financial and corporate
expertise
to assess all facets of a project through scenario simulations, whether already in operation or still just a concept.
- Sale and acquisition development -
We proceed from your preferences to develop a relationship of trust and reliability between stakeholders for mutually beneficial
relationships.
- ESG Risks Management
– ESG risks are clearly identified in addition to regular financial performance, market exposure upside, and untapped strategic potential. Mitigation options are continuously considered and monitored throughout the investment lifecycle, and constitute important metrics for our periodic client reporting
commitment.
- Experience
- We have worked for specialised economic development organisations of the UN for many years and apply today the same UN supported aspirational Principles for
Responsible Investment
to private sector Alternative Investment opportunities.
