That ‘life happens’ in strange ways is evident again in the times we live in today. Although yields in the alternative investment space are uncorrelated with conventional equity markets and the stock exchange, we still believe that if prudency prevails, all investment eggs should not be put into one basket. As in life we have shown that balance in our investment approach have protected us in times of market turbulence and uncertainty and downturn.
We create balance through long term capital growth versus shorter-term income diversification. We also create balance through geographical spread together with preference for essential consumer spend sectors versus luxuries. We favour disruptive business models and technology and opportunities for consolidating fragmented sectors. We use a unique CFYTM (Contract For Yield) methodology to ensure optimal
yields versus risk and exit liquidity for our investors.
The nReach | Capitis | Laysan investment process is governed by our Independent Investment Committee. Their role is to ensure that every opportunity is thoroughly vetted and evaluated, giving the potential investor the peace of mind and confi- dence to entrust his capital with nReach | Capitis | Laysan. Our funds are only invested into a solid track-record and used to grow such very scalable businesses. We do not invest into an idea though. Once such investment opportunities have been mined, striking a deal with the existing shareholders also requires creative deal-making abilities, which we regard as one of our differentiating factors.
The majority of our investors wish to attain liquidity in five (5) to seven (7) years from investing. Some even shorter and some even longer. We never enter a transaction unless we clearly know how we mitigate risks including how we exit an in- vestment and secure liquidity on capital for our investors. This is the private equity mantra that we firmly believe in.
We don’t regard ourselves as a sector specialist necessarily, although our diverse team has attained significant experience in many. But we do know how to spot ‘a good business jockey or operator’. In addition, we also understand how to add stra- tegic value to the investee company, ask penetrative questions and sometimes, to just leave the operating team to ‘work their secret herbs and spices’.
