A singular focus on private equity produced the philosophy that underpins how every investment at Hamilton is researched, tested and constructed into the portfolio.
Knowledge and experience allow us to take a more holistic approach to investment. We hold to long-term value investment, while our specialist asset management focus lets us take advantage of short-term growth opportunities as they appear.
The philosophy is the foundation of the investment process — not a statement alongside it.
Every underlying investment is subject to rigorous, in-depth research. Portfolio construction then adheres to our own multi-dimensional approach, so that no single position carries more of the fund than it should.
Capping assets under management is part of the same discipline: it keeps execution honest.
Sourced directly or introduced, and logged against the mandate.
A light due diligence pass establishes whether the opportunity can meet the mandate at all.
Comprehensive review of the major business areas, completed principally in-house and, where appropriate, with external advisors.
Findings are presented for a final decision, strictly in accordance with the Investment Mandate.
Ten detailed criteria are applied during due diligence, grouped in three sets. Not every investment meets all of them; none proceeds without meeting most.
