Kensington's Private Equity Investment Strategy
Kensington invests in private businesses, in partnership with leading private equity investors.
Kensington is very active in early identification and selection of opportunities that offer upside potential well in excess of the downside risk.
We review hundreds of opportunities each year and are able to make our investment decisions from a position of strong market intelligence.
The Kensington strategy is to invest at an inflection point to participate in a strong growth cycle for each company.
As investors in 38 private equity funds and an active direct investor, Kensington is positioned to capitalize on longstanding business relationships with a diverse selection of fund managers throughout Canada and the U.S.
- leverage our position as limited partner to obtain preferred access to co-investment opportunities.
- Cross-pollination of opportunities across our extended portfolio.
- Assemble strong investor syndicates.
- Actively participate on the boards of portfolio companies.
We believe in risk management through diversification. Kensington designs its funds to manage risk and enhance returns.
- Primary funds provide diversification and long term returns. The business relationship with those fund managers is important in the generation of secondary and co-investment opportunities.
- Secondary fund investments are often well priced. They enhance portfolio diversification and generate short term returns. The opportunities to buy are identified through relationships with the primary fund managers and institutional investors.
- Direct Investments are direct participation opportunities in deals generally led by primary fund managers. By actively building our relationships, we generate deal flow and select the best direct investments.
Kensington's investors and the funds and companies in which it invests are all treated with the respect due to our business partners. Transparency and open communication help all of us capture the best opportunities.
