General Investments Management & Operation
Discretionary management and operation of the group’s subsidiary holdings, banking lines and venture positions — governed by an investment policy statement, reported on a fixed rhythm.
The mandate in practice
What this pillar delivers — and how.
This pillar runs the operating side of the house: the subsidiary equity positions across agriculture, equipment, aviation, manufacturing and energy, the capitalization lines behind our business and client banking operations, and the venture portfolio.
Every position is managed against a documented investment policy statement that names its purpose, permitted instruments, risk budget and review cadence. Partners review performance with operating managers, not against abstract benchmarks — a factory, a farming season or a banking book has its own rhythm.
Engagements run under a written scope and, for discretionary mandates, an investment policy statement agreed before capital moves.
What this pillar covers
Scope, structure and operating rhythm.
Capabilities are documented, staffed and reviewed.
- Subsidiary equity oversight across six sectors
- Capitalization of business, client and industrial banking lines
- Signed investment policy statements
- Quarterly operating and governance reviews
