Investment

Our approach

A disciplined approach to investment, long-term commitment and a strong belief in diversification are the cornerstones of our investment philosophy.

We work to achieve a solid risk-weighted return on our portfolio through appropriate asset allocation, cautious investment selection and established partnerships with prominent asset managers across the US and Europe.

Consistent with the firm’s long-term horizon, our investment approach is structured with a heavy allocation towards private illiquid investments. We have developed trusted partnerships with more than 30 world-class asset managers in private markets who follow a wide range of mandates with varied strategies and geographies.

Through our relationships with VC funds, we strive to support entrepreneurs, whom we believe to be the ultimate agents of positive change across our society and economy.

One of our key strengths is the long-term nature of our capital which allows us to invest across far-reaching time horizons, fostering lasting relationships with our partners and investment managers.

ESG is an important factor for us, both in the operating businesses we already manage and any new investments we consider.

Being originally from Georgia, our shareholders are actively involved in philanthropic projects in their home country. We contribute part of our profits to our charity fund, the Gudavadze-Patarkatsishvili Foundation.
