Who We Are Castelnau Group

Permanence

Our best investments are the ones we never have to sell. The stock market listing provides Castelnau Group with permanent capital and the freedom to focus on the long term when acquiring businesses and nurturing their competitive positions

Partnership

Whether from the perspective of our businesses, employees or our shareholders, we aim to treat all stakeholders as partners. A partnership requires trust and a willingness to share responsibility and accountability.

We operate a de-centralised structure where responsibility sits with those that can generate the most value from it. We also look for opportunities to share insight and resources between holdings.

Nimbleness

Our de-centralised structure and single point of decision making through an experienced investment manager allows us to be decisive. This includes offering current holdings access to further capital and making new investments.

We consider any and all structures when making investments. We have developed a severe allergy to bureaucracy and don't need an army of advisors to arrive at a conclusion. Current and future holdings should expect rapid, well researched and entrepreneurial decision making.

Alignment

The majority of the Castelnau Group board is independent. We also have an investment manager that only earns fees if Castelnau Group outperforms the market over at least three years. If we don't perform, we don't earn fees. We think that's fair.

Transparency

We are imperfect and will make mistakes. Our culture is that of a persistent learning machine that looks to openly dissect errors and use them to improve decision making. We intend to report on both successes and failures across all our businesses in a transparent and concise manner.
