Our investment process is designed to focus on "the deals that matter". It ensures a significant throughput capacity and speed of decision-making, but also a consistent quality of independent challenge and diligence for every deal.To allow us to grow the QGI portfolio at the required rate, we typically aim for large ticket investments in an established stage. We follow a rigorous, four-stage approach for each investment, be it a direct investment or a fund investment.
the general process is described as follows :
ORIGINATION : Our teams originate deals from multiple sources. This includes proprietary sources, both in-house and through strategic partnerships as well as a network of leading institutions and partners. Examples are investment banks, private equity funds, governments and other sovereign wealth funds. When pre-screening potential investments, we conduct a consistent set of analyses to assess whether the deal should enter the pipeline.
EVALUATION : Deal evaluation is at the core of what we do. We conduct thorough evaluation that includes financial and legal due diligence.
The key parameters of the evaluation include: Financial and legal due diligence , Detailed investment thesis and Detailed risk assessment.

EXECUTION : Once approved, investments are executed by the Capital Markets and/or M&A teams, who specialise in asset-purchase programmes, hedging risks where appropriate or negotiating complex deals.
ACTIVE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT : We manage our portfolio actively to create value. We frequently assess the performance of our portfolio against the initial investment thesis. We exercise our shareholder rights and are represented at shareholders' meetings of companies in which we have a significant stake. The same diligence is applied to our investments in third-party funds: just as we select external managers using a thorough process, we also continue to manage and monitor them in this way.
