Investment Themes

Ocean Technology and Exploration

Our Ocean Technology and Exploration theme seeks to advance our understanding of one of Earth’s most abundant yet inaccessible resources. The ocean covers over 70% of our planet’s surface, but only 5% has been visited by humans. To truly understand the opportunities the ocean can provide it is crucial that we can go to lower depths, and for longer periods of time.

Exploration of the ocean has the potential to address some of our most significant and challenging problems. Knowledge of the ecosystems, species, and footprint of the ocean may help us better manage and preserve the considerable resources the ocean already provides. There is also vast opportunity for advancement, from understanding the ocean’s role in our planet’s climate regulation and addressing the impact of climate change, to enhancing human health through medical breakthroughs and innovations in biotechnology.

The ventures we back are committed to the development of innovative technologies, products, and training that enable and enhance research so that we can better understand the crucial role the ocean may play in the future of our planet and all species.

Advanced Manufacturing

Our Advanced Manufacturing theme invests in ventures rooted in technological innovation. We believe in the power of scientific advancement and its potential to catalyse societal shifts.

We focus on ventures with a strong scientific base, clear scalability, and potential for high impact on the future. The confluence of material science, new engineering techniques, and advanced technologies presents untapped potential for meaningful advancements across many fields.

Our investments in these ventures will be part of the fourth industrial revolution, with the prospect of redefining industries and establishing new ones over the decades to come.

Real Estate and Experiential Hospitality

Our Real Estate and Experiential Hospitality theme focuses on companies that are committed to developing unrivalled experiences and creating extraordinary spaces.

These ventures curate unparalleled experiences in inspiring locations, providing patrons with the highest levels of service, amenities, and discretion. They aim to enhance not only the lives of those who visit their spaces, but also the communities around them. Spaces are authentic to their location, land is nurtured for locally grown produce, and talent carries on traditions from the past. 

These investments are also committed to sharing, developing, and preserving ideas and traditions, ensuring that they continue for the generations to come.

Next-Gen Financial Services

Our Next-Gen Financial Services theme centres on businesses dedicated to bridging the gap between demands of the digital world and traditional finance, reshaping the industry landscape. Navigating shifts in capital markets, asset management, and custodianship necessitates more than conventional business models and strategies; it demands visionary thinking to challenge and reinvent established frameworks, ensuring stability amidst market disruptions and shifts in geopolitical fault lines, whilst also embracing anti-fragile approaches.

We advocate for a novel category of technically adept, bank-like solutions that possess the insight and capacity to harness the advantages of having early-conviction. Our overarching mission involves championing ventures that revolutionise finance by seamlessly integrating high-end, high-tech services fortified by an unprecedented level of cybersecurity, spanning from architectural design to underlying data infrastructure.

There is an increasing need for seamless interoperability between conventional investments and the emerging digital asset landscape. These ventures seek to drive a transformative shift in finance, providing clients with an unparalleled financial experience and new, more innovative ways to manage their financial journey.
