The origins of our business go back several years, when the first private equity investments were made by our founding stakeholders. Since then the business has grown via organic growth and acquisitions.
Our beliefs are centred on delivering long term capital gains, on investing in companies and situations that have unique characteristics, on identifying opportunities that may have been missed by our peers. We believe that there are many worthwhile investment opportunities that exist, and seek to work with selected management teams that have innovative unique well thought out investment proposals.
We believe that by focusing on a research driven approach we can focus on areas of our target markets that are underserved by other private equity managers.
Our management are incentivized to deliver growth and healthy returns as they are all stakeholders in the business.
Our business is operated through our subsidiary Steppes Alternative Asset Management. This is the Group’s asset management platform for managing our clients assets, and is comprised of the management of third party private equity assets, traditional wealth management, and funds management.
Our approach and future direction, is that of building out our funds management business organically and developing new investment products targeted at natural resources. In addition, we are currently seeking accretive acquisition opportunities that are synergistic with our existing business, not only to increase assets under management, but also to increase our own distribution platform into other markets.
