INVESTMENT STRATEGY

HOW WE OPERATE

Spice PE's primary objective is to generate superior returns to shareholders through capital growth. In order to achieve this, we continuously pursue investments that can increase our net asset value per share. Our core investment strategy is based on long- term direct private equity investments in companies that have global leadership ambitions. Operating as shareholders with significant ownership and strong governance rights, Spice PE focuses on pulling operational and growth levers.
