Our Investment Philosophy
At COPE, we take a long-term view when it comes to investing. We believe that building sustainable businesses requires patience, discipline, and strategic thinking. Our investment philosophy is based on three core principles:
1) Partnership: We see ourselves as partners with our portfolio companies rather than just investors. This means working closely with management teams to understand their vision for the business and providing support where needed.
2) Value Creation: We are committed to creating value for all stakeholders – including employees, customers, suppliers, and shareholders. This means identifying areas where we can improve operational efficiency or drive revenue growth.
3) Responsible Investing: We believe that responsible investing is not only good for society but also good for business. This means taking into account environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors when making investment decisions.
