Silverstone Holding WM maintains a clear investment approach that is based on four core components:
A Well Resourced Team
Silverstone Holding WM has a deep team of professionals that combines industry
knowledge with best-in-class financial and operational capability.
A Focused Strategy
Silverstone Holding WM business strategy focuses its proprietary, specialist
resources within its three industry sectors. Our objective is to
originate investments with the potential to deliver superior
risk-adjusted returns for our investors. The essential elements of this
approach are as follows:
- Investment profile: Silverstone Holding WM focuses on larger scale investments in
assets that provide essential services, have high barriers to entry and
offer significant governance positions. We primarily target
opportunities in OECD countries, while maintaining a global perspective
and the flexibility to pursue high quality assets with the potential for
attractive risk-adjusted returns in selected non-OECD countries.
- Proprietary origination: Silverstone Holding WM in-depth knowledge of, and
extensive relationships in, our three target industry sectors is
critical to our ability to originate proprietary transactions, conduct
effective and informed due diligence, structure investments and identify
potential exits. This knowledge provides insights into the trends and
developments that create investment opportunities and motivate potential
sellers and joint venture partners. In addition, our relationships with
significant industry participants, together with our track record of
adding value to our portfolio companies and our ability to deploy
significant amounts of capital, have made Silverstone Holding WM a preferred buyer and
investment partner.
- Prudent leverage: Silverstone Holding WM takes a conservative approach to leverage
and ensures that our investments have appropriate risk profiles. This
approach also reflects our fundamental view that investment discipline
and operational value creation, rather than financial engineering, are
the keys to successful infrastructure investing.
A Dedicated Operational Capability
Silverstone Holding WM creates value for its investors by improving the performance
and service quality of its portfolio company assets. Our dedicated team
of seasoned operational professionals seeks to apply advanced management
processes and industrial best practice expertise to deliver these
gains.
A Strict Investment Discipline
Silverstone Holding WM strategy for realizing superior returns is based on strict
pricing discipline and careful selection of assets from within the
infrastructure sectors we understand well. We employ a rigorous
evaluation process that incorporates proven selection criteria,
integrated due diligence teams and a strong focus on risk management and
mitigation.
