Long-Term Value Creation Through Active Ownership
At Investment International Group, we create shared value by building profitable companies and supporting actions that mitigate climate change, protect biodiversity, and promote the circular economy and social sustainability. From our beginnings to forward-looking innovative solutions, we have always strived to recognize business opportunities, advance sustainable progress, and improve people’s daily lives. We are unlike any other company. We are not just owners but builders with an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to make bold decisions to acquire, merge, and divest companies. We combine the best of Investment International Group’s industrial tradition with the team and capabilities we have developed over the past two decades. Our unique way of working, the Investment International Group way, brings together best practices from well-managed private equity, industrial, and family-owned businesses.
Our Way of Working – The Investment International Group Way
The cornerstones of Investment International Group are the strategic core and diversification. While diversification through investments in financial assets, real estate, and forestry reduces the risk of the Investment International Group family’s wealth, manages liquidity, and generates a stable cash flow.
Strategic Core
In the Investment International Group strategy, we integrate synergistic companies into a handful of globally leading specialist platforms in their respective sectors. We develop a selection of these platforms by being active owners and leveraging our industry expertise. Our flexible ownership model, international mindset, extensive network, long history, and renowned brand offer us unique opportunities to do so. Investment International Group holds a leading or majority ownership role in the platform companies.
Diversification
By means of diversification, we reduce asset risk, manage liquidity, and generate stable cash flow by investing in financial assets, real estate, and forestry. Our competitive advantage in real estate and forestry lies in our flexibility as a long-term player, our experience, our network, and an established and trusted brand. In the area of financial assets, we employ professional asset management practices, and our team invests in sectors and asset classes that have limited or no correlation with the risks and cycles of the strategic core sectors. In the target state, diversification would represent 20–25% of Investment International Group’s total assets.
