While open to looking at opportunities wherever they can be found, Lawson has produced the most impact with investments in sectors in which we have gained and demonstrated our core expertise. Over the years we have analysed and invested in the areas of sustainable & renewable energy and technology, real estate, consumer & retail, financial services, telecommunications & media, industrial, transportation and mining/commodities.
We concentrate on growth companies, but had successes with investments in businesses at all stages from seed and venture capital, to exit financing for well established businesses, to mid- and later-stage companies. Generally, we appreciate accomplished and invested management teams with solid equity stakes in the target company.
At the heart of the firm’s investment approach is an emphasis on creating sustainable value, in partnership with superior management teams, and building businesses that withstand the test of time. Our standing and trust, and the efficiency of our contribution creates most gains with solid companies with proven track record and a highly experienced and capable management team. Most of the companies we invest into are thus publicly traded or on their way to IPO or publically available financial instruments.
