ASX Shareprice


Board of Directors

Investment Strategy

The Company implements an actively managed investment strategy undertaking investments typically into one of two broad investment categories:

  • Strategic
  • Non-strategic

 

Strategic Investments

Strategic Investments are made in entities in which the Company can reasonably expect to exert a degree of influence, including board representation or through playing an active role alongside management in order to enhance or realise shareholder value.

 

Non-Strategic Investments

Non-strategic investments are made in entities where attractive investment opportunities develop due to market sentiment or mispricing or where the Company sees other potential for generating positive returns. In contrast to strategic investments, with non-strategic investments the Company does not envisage that it will take an active role in the management of the investment.
