PARTNERSHIP Opes Capital Inc

http://opescapital.co.za/investments.php

Partnership

We have a profound respect for the talented people that drive success in the businesses that operate in our target markets and we develop strong, collegial relationships with management teams based on three core principles: mutual respect, common goals and trust. These core principles are what enable us to be a productive, collaborative partner and facilitate an open, informed dialogue with our management partners. Over time we have found that taking this approach enables Opes and management to act more swiftly and decisively when capitalising on opportunities or addressing challenges.

Focused Business Building

We limit our investment activity to a small number of businesses to allow the focus necessary to achieve our goal of building market-leaders. We work closely with management to support the development of each company's strategic plan and initiatives to improve growth, profitability, operational effectiveness and, ultimately, business value. By dedicating our resources in this way, we enable management teams to expand the scope or accelerate the time frames of their business plans. The effectiveness of this focused approach has been demonstrated through the achievement of substantial growth and improved profitability at many of our prior investments.
Our philosophy is based on the belief that the value of a business over the long term is primarily determined by earnings growth and profitability. Therefore, companies that can consistently earn returns on equity and capital above their cost of capital make the most attractive long-term investments.

Target Investments

Our philosophy is to focus on the long term, to invest in quality assets and to control investment risk. By following this disciplined approach, Opes has repeatedly found opportunities both for growth and the preservation of assets in a variety of market conditions. This has led to a long track record of delivering consistent, risk-adjusted returns.
