Investment approach
Pride Capital is flexible in its investment approach. We will consider the financing of growth, industry consolidation or purchase of shares from existing shareholders. Investment may be by Pride Capital alone or through consortiums of investors that we manage.
Structuring of investments
Pride Capital’s favoured model is to acquire control so that we can better assist in the strategic development of business. However, in certain circumstances, we will consider the acquisition of less than controlling stakes with structured protection of the rights of minority shareholders.
