Investment process and positioning
We continuously perform extensive research to identify potential investment targets which offer opportunities to enhance shareholder value. Any investment is subject to rigorous review and due diligence and our Investment Committee must be satisfied that we can realise the value potential, be it via operational improvements, strategic
repositioning or an optimisation of the capital structure.
Unlike many private equity companies, DouglasBay is not constrained by pre-determined investment holding periods. We are therefore able to hold investments for whatever time period we believe will deliver greatest value for shareholders. We also limit our leverage so as to maintain maximum financial flexibility. Unlike industrial holding companies, we continuously evaluate our investments, monitor their progress and once we believe our contribution to further value creation is limited, we will search for a new owner to take the company forward.
