This end-to-end control lets us target the most advantaged points in the capital structure, move fast and extract maximum value.

TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
THE
PEOPLE
RESPONSIBLE
We’ve invested in an operational high-grade gold mine — the only underground gold mine currently in commercial production in Mongolia.
Our investments create sustainable value beyond financial gains by promoting social equity, environmental stewardship and long-term economic growth.
We prioritize investments that improve the well-being of individuals and communities. We target businesses that enhance labour conditions, improve access to essential services, and promote fair wages.
By allocating capital to enterprises that champion workplace safety, equity and workforce development, we create social benefits while fostering an engaged, productive workforce.
PLANET
REGENERATIVE
With climate change and resource depletion posing risk to long-term economic stability, environmental sustainability is a key pillar of our investment strategy.
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are the triple helix in our DNA, guiding our investment decisions to help reduce carbon, enhance resource efficiency and promote sustainable business practice.
By backing companies that prioritize sustainability, we not only mitigate environmental risk but also unlock long-term value by capitalizing on the growing demand for green, regenerative, sustainable solutions.
