WE BELIEVE

Business is not a

zero-sum game

Great companies produce products and services that enhance everything they touch. They create new value in the world.

People are creative

Every employee in every company has the power to contribute uniquely to its success. Great companies invite them to do so, amplify their genius, and encourage their sustained commitment, enhancing their power to create new value.

Great companies can do something about poverty

Harnessing their power to create new value, they produce enough to enrich everyone involved – investors, operators, employees, and the communities in which they operate.

We invest to

catalyze their success

We succeed by helping them create new value that contributes to the flourishing of all.
