The Knox Approach
An ‘investor club’ ethos that provides proprietary deal flow
- Previous Funds deal flow predominantly originated from the network of investors and Knox connections
- Investors are encouraged to actively participate in the process, with exclusive opportunities to co-invest where appropriate
- Networked access to industries that allows Knox to become a real industry insider, spotting un-competed exclusive opportunities
- A good time to be investing – with the economy recovering, credit markets have opened up for transactions with proven players
An active approach to generate operational value
- Initial 100-day plan to generate momentum, crystallise opportunities identified during due diligence, and realise early wins
- A genuine partnership with management to build value in the core business
- Provision of capital to fund growth e.g. acquisitions, geographic expansion, capex, additional resources
- Long term investment perspective, allowing Knox to architect strategic advantage
- Ability to identify and utilise the right resources, during due diligence and once the deal has been done (an effective senior team)
