Partners in business transformation
Our distinctive investment approach is shaped by systematic analysis, experience, and integrity. We look for resilient businesses that are not achieving their full potential and work with external partners to create a model where we can successfully build value in those companies. All mature PEP funds are currently in the top two quartiles.
Our model covers four investment strategies:
Integrity, responsibility and good global citizenship
Integrity, professionalism and the highest standards for ethical investing and improved transparency are key to the way we work. Among many initiatives and company practices, PEP has been a signatory to the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investing (UNPRI) since 2012.
