Our Principles

The principles behind our decisions.

Our approach is guided by stewardship, discipline, independence and a commitment to long-term alignment.

Stewardship

We regard capital as something to be managed responsibly over the long term.

Our objective extends beyond generating returns in any individual period. We seek to preserve and develop capital through changing economic environments and across market cycles.

Discipline

Investment decisions are approached with care and analytical rigour.

We seek to understand both the opportunity and the risks associated with an investment and remain selective in the deployment of capital.

Long-Term Perspective

Our investment horizon allows us to look beyond short-term volatility and changing market sentiment.

We believe patience can be an important competitive advantage and that some of the strongest investment outcomes are achieved by allowing high-quality businesses and assets sufficient time to realise their potential.

Independence

Our private ownership enables us to maintain an independent perspective and make investment decisions according to our own assessment of value and risk.

We are not required to follow prevailing market sentiment or deploy capital according to externally imposed timetables.

Alignment

We favour situations in which incentives are appropriately aligned and owners, management and investment partners share an interest in sustainable long-term success.

Partnership

We value strong and enduring relationships.

Whether working with entrepreneurs, management teams, co-investors, advisers or other counterparties, we seek relationships founded on professionalism, integrity, mutual respect and a shared understanding of objectives.

Discretion

Privacy and confidentiality are fundamental to the way MJP International operates.

We conduct our affairs discreetly and respect the confidentiality of our investments, partners and counterparties.
