Core Principles

Integrity

Our platform is built on trust and that theme pervades every aspect of our business operations and interactions with investors, intermediaries and counterparties.

Performance

Our focus on capital preservation drives a conservative approach to the underwritten returns that we present to our investor clients, with the expectation that our actual investment performance will outperform what we present in our offering materials.

Accountability

As stewards of our clients' capital, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in every aspect of our business and expect our investor clients to do the same.

Discipline

Our approach to risk management mandates that we thoroughly evaluate and mitigate each investment's potential downside risks prior to committing to moving forward with an acquisition.

Agility

Our tactical opportunity-driven investment approach allows us to react in real time to shifts in capital market conditions in order to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns for our investors.

Value Orientation

We target investments with asymmetric return profiles, typically underpinned by going-in bases at meaningful discounts to replication cost or differentiated assets with wide moats that offer downside insulation.

Alignment

Our investor clients' interests are our top priority and every investment Abacus undertakes will be structured in a manner that ensures the GP's economic interests are in alignment with our LP's.

Culture of Debate

Abacus values the power of divergent perspectives and encourages a culture of constructive debate amongst its investment professionals at all points along the value chain.
