Philosophy
The Allegro philosophy is simple: we do business with honest and straightforward principles. It’s a tried-and-tested approach that serves both the companies we invest in and the fund itself.
We form true partnerships
In our experience, working together towards common goals creates the greatest value. We are firmly in each management team’s corner.
We preserve company cultures
A company’s culture and characteristics make it what it is. Preserving that individuality is key to our shared success, and for the continued trust and support of employees.
We are persistent
Difficult times happen. We are big believers in working through tough circumstances together. And emerging stronger and more resilient.
We align our interests with management
Success happens faster when we all pull in the same direction. Clear incentives for management and key employees keep our interests aligned.
We provide strategic guidance, not day-to-day control
We don’t just provide investment capital. With active involvement at the board level, we strategically guide and operationally support management, without hovering over shoulders.
We are patient
We have no need for liquidity. We’re under no pressure to exit. We take a long-term view. And we judge success the same way.
We help management grow
When companies grow, management challenges evolve. We have considerable experience in recognizing these changes early and supporting management through necessary shifts.
We reinvest earnings
Instead of receiving dividends or building up excess cash, our firm preference is to reinvest earnings back into the business.
