Proprietary Investments

Catapult makes various proprietary investments using its strict investment philosophy.

As an investor we have demonstrated our expertise in identifying rewarding opportunities, and our ethos naturally aligns us with the interests of management.  Our investment thesis is centred around management buy outs and investing in the key decision makers of the company.  We recognise management have full information and know the business risks and opportunities better than the corporate vendor.
