Revenue is generated through a standard private equity model of management fees on committed capital and carried interest on profitable exits. The firm takes an active ownership approach, typically deploying majority stakes alongside management teams and providing strategic, operational, and financial support through a bench of operating partners drawn from former executives of National Grid, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure, Trafigura, Grant Thornton, and others. Capital is raised directly from institutional investors, family offices, and pension funds without intermediary distribution.
