What do we offer our investors?
Co-investment
We are very significant investors in our funds as we believe our ownership structure and the funds themselves are ideally structured to provide outstanding long term returns. In addition, we see it as common sense as our interests are aligned with our clients and it allows us to concentrate solely on what we do best. Part of the reason we believe our structure is ideal is that we have made the decision to cap our Funds Under Management at low levels, to ensure that the funds retain greater flexibility in volatile markets. In addition, SGH reinvests a significant portion of its profit back into the funds, and we always seed new funds with our own money.
Experience
The average investment experience of the senior investment principals is 18 years.
Consistency
Our investment style has been used by the SGH team for more than a decade (we call it "ValueActive™"). It combines valuation work with analysis of company and market fundamentals and market sentiment. Simply put, we like to buy great companies at good prices, and good companies at great prices. The team has also identified persistent inefficiencies in the market which its investment process aims to exploit.
Stability
The founding principals have worked together since 1996.
Single Focus
All non-investment operations outsourced.
Joint Venture with LaSalle Investment
In 2003, SGH entered into a JV with LaSalle Investment Management (Securities). LaSalle is one of the worlds largest global property investors.
