Relationships and reputations are far more important to us than transactions. We seek to create long-term value by forming strong partnerships with management teams, intermediaries and advisors.
Integrity
Integrity is our core value. We recognize that as an entrepreneur or operating executive, your business is very personal. Whether you are exiting or continuing with an equity stake, we value the relationships you have built with customers and employees and will ensure that your reputation and legacy continue to be upheld. We follow through on our promises, view ourselves as caretakers and always act with the utmost integrity for which Fidelity has a long history.
Partnership
We view collaboration as critical and seek to form true partnerships with management teams, intermediaries and advisors to maximize value for all stakeholders. Our focus is on providing portfolio companies with the investments, resources and opportunities they need to grow into industry leaders - not on trying to run them ourselves. We commit significant time and effort to each investment opportunity we consider. Every company we invest in receives the benefit of our entire global network and the team’s expertise.
Long-term Orientation
Our funding relationship with Fidelity means that we are able to be more flexible with our capital, adopting a long-term view when appropriate. We are not under pressure to exit early, which allows us to maximize returns for all stakeholders.
