An active strategic partner
PAI brings a strong ownership mentality to its investments and works with leading management teams to realise the full potential of its portfolio companies.
To execute this, PAI is an active strategic partner for company management, aiming to create value by supporting:
- the implementation of strategic and operational improvements
- the refocusing of activities
- targeted investments in capital expenditure, marketing, R&D and new facilities
- the assessment of new business opportunities and identification of add-on acquisitions
and by utilising its strong network of industrial and financial contacts.
While PAI participates actively in the key strategic decisions of its portfolio companies, management are left in charge of the day to day running of the business. Importantly, PAI aims to establish a relationship of trust, transparency and genuine partnership with management, who become shareholders in the company to ensure total alignment of interest and strong performance incentives.
PAI invests with a long-term perspective and is experienced at holding companies through multiple phases of development and across market cycles.
