It has three core businesses: hedge funds, strategic partnerships and private equity. The firm specialises in early stage investing, which is informed by its proprietary geo-political model. The firm launched its African Agricultural Land Fund in 2008, investing in a highly diverse range of crop, livestock and agri industry in 14
