Investment Approach
Caniwi Capital typically looks for businesses that fit the following criteria:
- New Zealand based
- Well established with a history of sustainable earnings
- Solid growth potential
- Require a near term succession or capital re-organisation solution (such as a majority shareholder exiting)
- All industry groups considered
When considering investments Caniwi Capital will look to:
- Acquire controlling interests or minority positions with influence where Caniwi’s strategic and capital structuring skills can be best utilised
- Be a long term holder of investments (unlike other private equity firms which typically look for short term exits), with a goal to drive the business to maximise growth opportunities and increase return on equity
- Develop close working relationships with management and bring a large network of business expertise to help businesses reach their potential
