How it all started
At Navigio we saw the strong effect the Full Potential Journeys we delivered for our clients had on their growth, profitability and employee satisfaction and we said to ourselves "Let’s show the world what happens when we apply our own recipe for success to our own investments."
We knew that when we help companies form a better strategy, help them implement an operating model better designed for the strategy, and when we ensure that the managers are able to deliver their respective parts of the strategy, then great value is created. We simply wanted to walk the talk and invest in companies we could help unleash their full potential.
We only invest using our own funds and in sectors we know well.
Investing our own funds makes us independent from external stakeholders. And being independent enables us to be stable and reliable partners. We have in-depth operational, market, and strategic knowledge. We make sure we understand the operational reality that our portfolio companies face every day.
Our commitment
Navigio Capital is dedicated to our role as owners, prioritizing long-term success for our portfolio companies. We ensure that the boards consist of experienced individuals who can add real business value to the management team and the board.
Our ownership approach is characterised by dedication and prudence, always aimed at benefiting the companies under our care. To support our board representatives, we have a team of Full-Potential-Journey (FPJ) consultants who monitor our investments and the market landscape, helping us identify growth opportunities and refine our methods.
Navigio Capital utilizes the expertise of our investment managers, partners, and affiliated board members to form FPJ teams for each portfolio holding, maximizing their potential.
We have access to 80 management consultants in our consultancy firm to support strategic initiatives, investments as well as conduct due diligence and market analysis.
We believe in creating value by building financially strong companies with organic growth
We believe it is possible to combine profit and growth, sustainable competitive edge is most often built when superior customer value is created under financial constraint.
We make sure there is a long-term competitive advantage in place for every company and we avoid quick flips. We are careful with turnarounds. Difficult situations usually get more difficult.
We invest for the long-term
As long as the entrepreneurs have the energy and motivation to continue, and we believe the company develops in the right direction, we have both the motivation and ability to remain shareholders. If or when the entrepreneur wants to make an exit, we will respect their wish and ensure it is executed in the best way possible.
We believe that sustainable business processes are important for long-term value, and sound ethical standards enable healthy value creation in the long term.
We advocate a low profile
Engaging in media coverage, panels or conferences dilutes our time and focus which is solely on value creation. We avoid investing in companies in which the entrepreneurs are focused on building their personal brand value – the best business builders focus all their time on improving their business to better serve their customers.
